Finally updating this some myself

Hi - I'm flattered to have a Wikipedia page about me. I've resisted adding to it myself in the past because somehow that seems a little egotistical. The accuracy and readability of the page has in some ways slipped back from some of the edits, so I'm attempting to restore it. I'm still going resist the temptation to expand the page much, as it is not really possible to judge for oneself what other people will find most significant about one's life. I will try and check back from time to time though to make sure that any new things other people add are accurate. Jimkent (talk) 23:57, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

50 or 100 workstations?

I've read in the O'Reilly interview http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2002/04/05/kent.html that 100 Pentium processors were used. Were those in multi-processor workstations? The article currently states that the GigAssembler was ran on 50 workstations (which would be valid if they had 2 processors each). Which value is valid?
