eadint's Journal: Navy antics

I just found out that a previos navy admiral made a madate for all naval computers to be wintel based. when asked what about when navy reserch labs need real number crunching he replied. that the navy shouldnt be doing it. being that my department is heavilly invested in macs and sun workstations this is a verry bad thing. an interesting not is that said navy admiral is now retired and working as a VP for microsoft. and the new admiral is upholding the same mandate. probably hoping for a nice job with microsoft. im not sure how this bodes for the mac and unix comunity as far as nava research goes. but it would be a good topic for slashdot. i would first need to have proof though.
