Sheesh, indeed. Where did you hear _that_?

Various people at Tektronix. Perhaps they were trying to portray Agilent as
being somewhat more "shrunken" than they really were based on how downsized
they'd just been?

The new Agilent MXA series analyzers look really nice (we've had a demo). I'm
glad to see that the Agilent spectrum analyzer folks realized that, if you're
going to have an instrument that's based on a PC architecture, people want a
*good* PC architecture to back it with -- I'm thinking of the MXA's XGA LCD,
some reasonably modern CPU, etc.; it's *snappy*. Compare to some of Agilent's
network analyzers... we have an N5230A that's only 9 months old, and it has a
640x480 LCD *with a dead pixel* and a whopping 500MHz CPU. Ouch! My
understanding is that the current ones still have the same old LCD, but a
1.1GHz CPU now (woo hoo!)

Thanks for the extra information,
---Joel
