The real numbers were there, but I figured pi was more interesting. I will say though, that I'm mighty impressed with it, particularly given that it was a prototype cpu. It does run FreeBSD/i386 very nicely. Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
