Ha!
I once was a direct report to a newly minted MBA who did not have Day One of real-world business experience.
I left work each day in what Scott Adams calls Must...Control...Screaming...Fist...Of...Death mode.
Correct. This has more to do with the IA64 itself than with IO throughput at the host bridge or down-stream IO transactions.
It will take a little while yet for IA64 hardware to catch-up to Alpha, but it will catch-up and then surpass. The compilers have some room to grow, too. Compiler opitimization is always an issue with new processor technologies.
I did not get the opportunity to use LSE.
EDT was easy to learn.
The 10-key pad in conjunction with 'alt' activated over 30 commands. Your original file was always kept intact. You could have (on the DEC) as many 'versions' of file as you wanted.
My statement about it being better than WP today was meant to refer to the power and speed of it's commands.
I find nothing in WP softwares that let's you do a FIND AND REPLACE based on LOOKS LIKE. And only by creating macros can you perform multiple operations.
I use an IBM mainframe, and the editor on it sucks bigtime.
LSE rocked. It was a Language Sensitive Editor. So take EDT and then have it color to your code automatically, similar to how a lot of code editors operate today. It would use your file extenstion to determine the code language and would even build default code shells when you first created the empty code file.
It would highlight sentax errors in an alternate color. A true pleasure to work with back in the stone age of computing.
Thank you for the reply, have a great week.
