] On Monday, Orion Multisystems, a start-up company based
] in Santa Clara, California, was to announce a desktop
] computer for engineers and scientists who want more
] computing power than is easily available from Fry's, the
] local retail chain for personal computers. Orion is
] building a computer the size of a pizza box, intended for
] a single engineer or scientist, that will have 12
] processors yet consume about the same amount of power as
] a standard desktop personal computer.

[ Presumably a 12 node transmeta box... seems like a neat idea, if it can find a market... that's a hell of a workstation. -k]
