I'm surprized at you. Many of those old slow machines were faster if byy

of not having four tonnes of nastiness grafted to them.
Then again, a NS* horizon with static ram and a 10mhz Z80 does get out of
its way.

Feh, PCs are good gamers and all but if I want a good solid machine for
real work it may be far from my first choice. Better is relative. ;)
