OK... I was with you until you hit this one...
What OS (which bad Unix was this...)

I'll take a BSD version on the P133 over Ultrix on the Vax and love
to see what the benchmarks are...
BTW -- was this an IDE drive P133 (that's probably the main problem)

Who prefers running an AMD 586/133 with 32mb of memory over a 64mb of
memory Sparc2 or a 64mb or memory Sparc10 with SunOS or a Solaris 7 Ultra.

(Who prefers an 11/780 or better Vax running Vax/VMS (what's this Open/VMS
#$%^& marketing _at_#$%^ anyway...)

(I can't afford an Alpha yet...)

      Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
      The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
