<grin>  Just two mutually exclusive groups, eh?

I'm a college student who's been a "professional" computer user (as in
being paid to do things with computers).  I use workstations (DEC 3100's
running Unix) regularly.  While I don't expect that my //gs will show
comparable performance to the DEC, I want it to be as powerful as
possible....

So much for categories :-)
