Whether ia64 will survive longer than PA-RISC is hard to say. HP has a plan but plans can change. I personally don't care about HP's plans and they don't really affect my choice in supporting PA-RISC. It's reports like this that matter to me: > > Carlos, thank you for all the work you've put in over the last year > > and more.

Same here; there are still a lot of issues with my C3000, but that does not mean it's not great; the machine runs and is stable, even with the USB and frame buffer issues. Totally stable. I am VERY PLEASED with the progress that has been made on HPPA linux; this machine is now one I depend on, because I know I can. Thanks for all the work. Sorry for off topic response. Dave -- J.
