Hi Jerry,
=>Kim,
=>We are still saying no to these I assume. Please let
=>me know so I can get back to the client. If I do not hear
=>from you by the end of the day today, I will let him know we cannot
=>do this one.
I didn't see your message until this morning, when I returned from a
week-long trip to CA.
I know there's been some conversation among the dcns managers and
others about supporting sparc 5's and possibly other sparc platforms.I
believe Peter is driving this one so you might want to check with him.
