Sorry Craig, but like several others I feel newsgroups are the best
place. I doubt I'll use your forums.

One newsgroup (and I guess forum) I'd like to see would be devoted to
parallel code on Suns (SMP, Suns tools for SMP, Message Passing
Interface (MPI) etc). I know setting up MPI on a Sun trying to work with
a Linux box was not easy task.

I know there is a parallel newsgroup, but one on Sun specifically might
not go amiss.
