   Don't be yellin' at me, _I_ didn't post that it made it run at IIci speeds,
in fact, I think that I said it wouldn't run at IIci speed. No way no how.
And if you're yelling at me for saying it wouldn't run at IIci speed, that's
pretty silly too, 'cuz as bad as Apple's software is, a 25MHz doin' bad will
still beat a 16MHz doin' good.
