   I have some comments.. I think you're the kin of people that thinks
that It's supposed to be impressive to see a word processor respond to
a keypress in less than 1/2 second.. way to go, great performance,
I can just hear you: "wow! it's screaming!!". Meanwhile, my Ami is
chugging along playing music in the background in stereo, with a telcom
program downloading some stuff, a little clock window flying around,
a decompressors un-archiving some files I just downloaded and a game
screen behind all that for playing while waiting.

   Ah! I forgot. And also, this "game machine" drives hard disks at
almost 2 megabytes/sec, more than twice the speed of your "seriuos"
machine.

   REMEMBER: If it's a game machine, it's the most powerful the
industry can create.

Gustavo..

sheesh.. what a dumb ass..no wonder he's a mac user.
