Summary: 


Mr. Trissel points out that Motorola's benchmarks show the 68020 to have
equal or better performance than the (how old?) VAX 11/780.  Gee, I wonder
how the microvax II will perform?  Last rumors I heard were that DEC is
projecting better performance for the II than for the venerable 780.

And to think I'm about to shell out a thousand dollars for a PDP-8m with
8 kW of core (real core), two DECTAPE drives, a 300 cpm card reader, and
two LA-36s.  Hmmm...
