Interesting, for some reason the NYT last week (friday?) had an article
on the front page of the business section on the pursuit of the teraflop,
included in this article was a graph of relative mflops. It stated the
NeXT had 1.5 mflops.

I forget the source of the graph, has anyone verified the 2.5 figure?
