You're either just too dense to understand, Fred, or just never learned
to listen.
The only Itanic which was a steaming pile of crap (or 'smoking brick of
death' as Terry called it before being seduced - suckered? - by the dark
side) was Merced: the rest have been nothing all that special
(especially given their power consumption and considering the mammoth
resources in time, money, and desperately-increasing amounts of on-chip
cache which have been poured into them), but only worthy of outright
derision in proportion to the degree which HP persisted in over-hyping them.
And if Montecito actually lives up to its hype (though that would
certainly be a first for the family, so pardon me for being less than
breathless with anticipation) it might actually look pretty good (though
likely still not as good as POWER5, let alone the POWER5+ product which
should be debuting about when Montecito does).

Yup, that's the problem - particularly when combined with the blatant
lies that cHumPaq tried to make stick in this area and its callous and
unilateral abrogation of very specific long-term public commitments to
its Alpha users.
Which is why it's actually been your upper-level management that has
been the *real* steaming pile of crap over the years - and one by one we
seem to be seeing them getting recognized as such (though we've still
got a few to go yet).
