Keywords:RISC 


Let NEC give you the facts about RISC processors.  Join us at
the "Vr4000: The Processor for today, tomorrow and beyond" seminar.
Learn why the Vr4000 is and will continue to be the performance 
and price leader through the 90's.

    NEC Electronics will provide you with the opportunity to learn 
why the MIPS R4000 architecture is not only the architecture of choice
for today, but is also the cornerstone for future advances 
in microprocessor development.  Today, NEC's Vr4000 integrates 
a high performance 64 bit CPU with a primary cache and a floating
point unit all on one single die.  Versions of the Vr4000 with 
secondary cache interface and multiprocessor support are also 
available.  At our free seminar we'll take you through future 
migration paths, discuss packaging trends, pricing and performance,
and provide you with a detailed technical analysis.
4000 RISC-based systems offer a much higher level of 
graphical and computational performance compared to X86 systems. 

    If you design CISC or RISC systems, you can't afford to miss 
this seminar.  Join us at one of the following locations and learn 
why the Vr4000 should be your processor of choice for leading 
edge workstations, powerful PC's, multiprocessor and embedded 
control systems.

Valid point. No, I didn't look up the bluebook value of the car.
I was paid 75% of the new car purchase price on a year-old car.
My sense was that this was about right. My biggest concern at the
time was how much of the loan was going to be left after they
paid my claim.

There's sa small town up in the desert named "Randbsburg," which is
billed as a functioning ghost town.  It's between China Lake
(Ridgecrest) and Mojave, and about 2 hours north of Los Angeles.  Just
go to the 3,923rd Yucca Tree and hang a right.

There are still silver mines in the area.  I remember sitting in a car
on a ridge overlooking the town, and waiting for the stagecoach to come
meandering into town.  Makes you remember how tough life was for the early
settlers of the state.

     Newly arrived immigrants have traditionally been a vital part of
the work force which built America's economic might.  The Irish, Italians,
Poles, etc. which immigrated to the US in the late 1800s and early half
of this century built America's industry, her factories, mills, shipyards,
etc.  Today's immigrant population may come from other countries, but
they still fill the same role, taking low pay jobs entailing back breaking
labor, because even that sort of job is better than they could find in
their native countries.  Many of these jobs no American would take,
anyways.

Yeah, right... I think the original poster, Kim, _is_ living in reality.
People that thinks it's all "our" fault for not providing jobs (read:
opportunity, etc.) for these hoodlums must be on some kind of guilt trip.

Of course, I don't live in East L.A., so my view is certainly biased.

Actually, I haven't met anyone who's made a claim with them who has
a *good* story.  They tried to rip me off for about 45% of the value
of my car (which was totalled by a CSAA-insured driver) and their attitude
was: so sue us if you don't like it.  I've heard the same story from
others who've made claims.

Well, it's managed by my alma mater. It's "owned" by the Department of Energy.
The DOE also funds everything.  Some of us would love to see the UC ties broken.

But, that's another topic.

The town of Bodega is where you will find the schoolhouse from "The
Birds."  Bodega is about 10 miles inland from Bodega Bay.  

The town of Solvang between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara is the
closest thing to a theme town I have seen.  It is a Danish village with
each building reflecting the decor, many windmills, and alot of stores
selling Danish food( Yes, they sell danishes).

Oh, I don't know -- I know my time at UCB was better for them having
given better access to targeted populations that otherwise would have
gotten lost in the paperwork.  Face facts -- UCB gets tons more
applicants than they have slots for.  If they simply took the top of
that cream, how homogeneous might it be?

How much *less* potential does some 4.0 student who came from the inner
city and who, because of factors outside of his direct control (like
nutrition) got a 1500 SAT score instead of the 1520 cutoff ...
hypothetical numbers, but the point is that without that policy (which
just got dropped?  didn't I see something in the papers last week about
this?), what would UCB look like?

You're forgetting two of the most popular theme towns in California --
Las Vegas, and Santa Fe.   At least they *seem* to be full of
Californians all the time ...  and isn't LANL owned/operated by U.C. ?

Keywords:RISC 


Let NEC give you the facts about RISC processors.  Join us at
the "Vr4000: The Processor for today, tomorrow and beyond" seminar.
Learn why the Vr4000 is and will continue to be the performance 
and price leader through the 90's.

    NEC Electronics will provide you with the opportunity to learn 
why the MIPS R4000 architecture is not only the architecture of choice
for today, but is also the cornerstone for future advances 
in microprocessor development.  Today, NEC's Vr4000 integrates 
a high performance 64 bit CPU with a primary cache and a floating
point unit all on one single die.  Versions of the Vr4000 with 
secondary cache interface and multiprocessor support are also 
available.  At our free seminar we'll take you through future 
migration paths, discuss packaging trends, pricing and performance,
and provide you with a detailed technical analysis.
4000 RISC-based systems offer a much higher level of 
graphical and computational performance compared to X86 systems. 

    If you design CISC or RISC systems, you can't afford to miss 
this seminar.  Join us at one of the following locations and learn 
why the Vr4000 should be your processor of choice for leading 
edge workstations, powerful PC's, multiprocessor and embedded 
control systems.

Insulin pills have been on the market quite sometime, I have been
diabetic for 5 years and they gave me pills first before I went to
shots.  However, they do not always work on everybody.  If your
diabetes is bad they are not for you.  There is suppose, or may
already be, a patch out to help, too
