Actually, it's Rob's posts that seem to jump out at me, and responses have
become almost automatic since his material doesn't change much.  Of course,
that can give my responses a certain sameness as well...

Just to break the monotony, I'm thinking of making up a Letterman-style 'top
ten' list of reasons why we're all still breathlessly awaiting the public
debut of Itanic 2.  At this rate, EV7 and Hammer may not only be
embarrassingly faster, but embarrassingly faster to market as well.  And
(while on the subject of Itanic 2's wondrous performance if and when), I was
surprised to notice recently that USIII has made it up to 610 in SPECint2K
performance:  wouldn't it be amusing if after all the "Just wait for
McKinley!" hype over the past year Itanic *still* turned out to be at the
back of the pack?
