Responding to the following:

"then comes the IIfx which uses a 50 Mhz 030 chip clocked at 40 Mhz(!)
boy, that's really squeezing the performance.. in each situation apple has
PROVEN that they come out with an inferior product to what should have been
designed, and when sales slack, they pump up the power.  (forcing you to
continually upgrade if you want the best performance).  is it any wonder why i
believe the first 040 mac will be 16 Mhz?"

Are you kidding? You're saying something to the effect that, in the IIfx,
a 50MHz 030 is used, but it is slowed down to 40MHz for some reason/somehow?
Please explain this, this is very interesting.
