Hehe, well maybe if you guys got the silly machine out the door so we could get a look at it and see for ourselves, we COULD make some valid comparisons. This is rather comical. Yes, sorry about comparing a 25mhz machine with a 16mhz machine (slaps wrist...smack!). We shall see what the real numbers are like soon (or do we have to wait until 4th quarter 199X?) Sorry to be such a cynic, but you guys make it so easy. :-) > >-- John Townsend > Atari Corp. ------------------------------+--------------------------- Chris Mauritz |Donde hay una cerveza cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu |hay un plan.
