And it should be noted these are II"i" processors/interconnects.
Not nearly as capable in the interconnect-I/O as a true II (let alone
III/IV).

I still take in 4+ way UltraSPARC II systems when I'm at companies.
They are many tasks where their distributed interconnects are very
useful.

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you. Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
