I was wondering if anybody would notice. :-)  It's a pre-alpha machine and
I'm not allowed to talk about speed.  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,
