Quad-core Macs: More reason for a multi-CPU aware Erlang

[ke.han]

WOOO-HOOO....you've just made my day!!!  Just to know Ericsson is 
working toward a real product furthers my resolve that Erlang is the 
right choice for the future (...of a wide variety of applications).
Although I can't make it to the conference this year, I look forward to 
the posted presentation.
thanks for the heads up, ke han
