If so, where does the LC (or any other Mac, >for that matter) rank in the IBM hierarchy? I've done a few benchmark tests, and it comes in about the same as a 10mhz 80286 with no wait-states. That puts it on par with older AT-clones and the PS/2 Model 30/286. Usual disclaimers about benchmarks: none of them are perfect. The ones I used check only the CPU speed - not the disk, video, etc. If you are a Numbers Fanatic, the dhrystone rating was about 2100. -------------------------- Marty Zimmerman Computer Services University of Idaho Moscow, ID USA
