I am actually very suprised about the amount of email being exchanged over
Transmeta. :-) Lets hope they have something worthy to show off next year.

BTW. What they have probably won't be what you are expecting :-). I try not to
get my hopes up on anything that doesn't exist yet.

One major complaint. WTF is with the chip naming. Can't they think of something
cool to name thier processor. First it was pentium, then celeron, athlon, xeon
and now crusoe. Out of all of those, I am very sad to say, pentium was the best
:-(.
