lets see... so far we got...

	TI-58 calc 	==	hot air baloon
	mot '030 	==	prop plane
	nsc '532	==	F-15
	mips R3000 	==	Lockheed Blackbird

does this mean that the soon to be announced ecl mips chips, from Bit, lets
call it the R9000, should fit in at:

	mips R9000	==	Unreleased Lockheed Spy Plane

on further inspection it's obvious that the analogies stated above need
adjustment, I suggest..
 
    TI-58 calc 	<10 drystones at ??Mhz	  ==	hot air baloon, 10 Mph
    mot '030 	8k  drystones at 25Mhz**  ==	P-51 Mustang, Mach .6
    nsc '532	15k drystones at 25Mhz**  ==	Phantom F-4, Mach 1.6+
    fuji sparc	25K drystones at 25Mhz**  ==	F-16, Mach 2+
    moto 88000	34K drystones at 25Mhz**  ==	F-15, Mach 2+ (bigger load)
    mips R3000 	42K drystones at 25Mhz    ==	Lockheed Blackbird, Mach 3+
    mips R9000 135K drystones at 80Mhz*** ==	Lockheed Spy Plane, Mach 6+ ***

**  == estimate +-15%
*** == estimate +-20%, only rumoured to exist, wink, wink.
