This is got to be the hard way to do this. Anyone at NCSA discover supermicros :-) INTERNET OVERLOAD. Anyone who uses the Internet already knows it-- the global network is getting overcrowded. The National Center for Supercomputer Applications reports an increase in World Wide Web requests from almost 100,000 in June to almost 400,000 in October. Center officials say "the only solution may be to take a $15 million supercomputer away from its normal scientific number-crunching duties and employ it full-time as an electronic librarian."
