You're exactly right, and I see your point, but we're not talking apples and bananas. I guess you could say we're talking Apples and Apples, even though, they are different species. Anyway, the point is, from the experience I've had with both the mac and the gs (let me point out, I like the GS 1000 times better), the mac definitely seems to run faster even with 'unrefined' programs that were written A LONG time ago with unrefined C compilers (or pascal compilers). >>Using your same logic, that would be like saying a ][+ is faster than a GS >>because AppleWorks 3.0 is faster than Appleworks GS ... > >Not MY logic! That's the sort of non-comparability I was objecting to. Right. And that wasn't directed to you, but the person that sent me that LONG note. (unless you're the person that wrote me the long note... I can't tell, because there's no address with this message.) To Everyone: I have a request: Most everyone agrees that the mac is faster, some don't and from the look of things, nobody's gunna believe otherwise unless we see some benchmarks (I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong), so, let's start talking about Apple ]['s and not macs until someone shows up with some benchmarks for the 65816 vs. 68000 (using assembly language) and just post enough to show which is faster OVERALL. It's not that important to me, but it seems to be to alot of GS users on here. Fair enough? ________________________________________________________________ | | | | HEY people. learn when | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | | to use "a" and "an". | pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |________________________|_______________________________________|
