	I've been using a MIPS M/2000, containing an R3000 cpu for the
last three months.  Right now, its only running with a 20 MHz clock,
but it should be getting upgraded to 25 Mhz any day now.  Even at 20 MHz
its pretty impressive - I've been meaning to post some performance figures
from my own real programs, but haven't found time.  Sometime soon, hopefully.
