	Yes, you're right again. I guess this means I'm babbling and not
making enough sense :-)...
	My thought, er point is this: Maybe Intel realised that the current
IA-64 is crap, so now they can really look at the Alpha Processor, and bring
all the right stuff over to the Itanium. Which, IMHO, will probably be the
whole Alpha processor technology, over the course of two or three years.
