They haven't had anytihng worth soap for years on end, and they publish that idiot Pournelle who is still living in the 70s with his 8 inch disks. Gawd! Anyway, I wouldn't trust their benchamarks (or the ones in the august issue with the Mac II vs. PS/2 model 80) as far as one of their magazines would fly. But, what do I know?
