You like TPC when it supports your arguments, but like to "dis" them when you think it can make you look superior and smart. If TPC benchmarks are useless, and a vendor doesn't do them, then you can hardly claim that the absence (or presence) of the vendor's products from the benchmarks proves anything one way or the other. You pompous buffoon, you have been hoist by your own petard. No amount of academic hair-splitting is going to get you out of this one. -- Bye now, Obnoxio "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche A smile is a gift that is free to the giver and precious to the recipient. But giving someone the finger is free too, and I find it more personal and sincere. sending to informix-list

Your desparation is hardly my petard. -- Daniel A. Morgan http://www.psoug.org damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace x with u to respond)
