Yeah, I noticed. I'm sort of hoping for it to be a minor glitch. I haven't
installed the depot yet.

That's true :). I'm sort of doubting that about the H50 because it's just so
fast (well, 96MHz) but the memory helps out a lot. The CPU is a pain in the
back to carry though. Nearly broke my back when carrying it up the stairs.
Nearly as bad as mounting a VAX 8350 on the rack slides by yourself.
