Someone said earlier that "the lower end sytem 3000's were nothing more
than PC's"  Well, having worked at NCR, (no longer) I can say that in
most of the Unix benchmarks we ran, the 916 (a 16Mhz 386) beat a 700
by *wide* margins on many tests.  There is not a tower made that can
come close to the 3433 ( a 486 at 33Mhz ).

BTW, I just stumbled onto this newgroup.  Is it for NCR people, customers,
the general public...?
