Please, tell us about the benchmark.  I find it hard (but not
too hard) to believe.  I must say, 7+ megabytes per second to
the disk is, well, compared to what I am on right now, (a TRS-80)
quite impressive.  I would not write all of this 'extra' stuff,
but our news poster will not allow me to post a small article to
the net.  Yes you guy that say 'It was made that way for a reason.'
are probably right, but...
