Re: BTW, just how many mips does a Mac run.  Frustrated minds want to know.

Instead, try asking this question:

   "BTW, just how many "GraphicStones" does a Mac run?  Frustrated minds
    want to know."

Realize the cost of a Mac goes towards optimized software, not
optimized hardware.  If you want optimized hardware, buy a korean '386
PC, and enjoy!

(In case you hadn't noticed, graphics on a PC is a lot slower than on
a macintosh, due to extensive SOFTWARE optimization in quickdraw)
