Aw come on Joe, we're not talking about any //e.  We're talking about
pro-europa, the fastest //e machine on the block!

Actually, I feel the comparisons were valid for eight bit programs and will
challenge any IIgs with whatever speedup device to a launch and run an eight
bit program.

Those 10 MHz chips are fast.
