Now Harald.

You can't fool me.

You're flaming this guy arn't you ? Albeit very politely.

He has a point.  He probably isn't going to count the keyboard
microprocessor as a cpu.  He probably wants 25 68020's or 10
Sun 4's.

He probably wants a BBN Butterfly.

*I'd* like a BBN Butterfly too.

I think it's safe to assume that pretty much everybody reading this would
like a BBN Butterfly.

But I'll settle for the most colors for the least price.
