Dhrystones blahblah dhrystones this that drivel drivel... Gimme a break! Those Byte magazine geek benchmarks don't mean squat! No matter how fast your machine is, it'll still take you 15 minutes to type a letter and X minutes to type in a spreadsheet. I'm sure everybody is real impressed that your Amiga can do more GigaHoozits than our Ataris, so what? Well, enough of that, we now return you to our regular programming. Let's see, where were we.... Ah yes, I think we were discussing a non-existent machine, or was it the differences between Dhrystone 1.X and 2.Y... Real interesting stuff, doncha think? ---jb
