Heh - what he's *definitely* got a talent for is getting things *wrong*, the
first N tries...

Yes, but none of this is relevant to a discussion about a computer that is
overtasked just with its own windowing system...

It would be kind of nice if these folks would use Better Software as the
solution to their performance problems, instead of always relying on Faster
Hardware. (Obviously the ideal situation is to have optimal software running
on the fastest hardware, but you ain't gonna get that from NeXT...)
