Of course, it is a fair test of how well the BASICs on those machines work. The
article was really comparing the Panasonic machine against the IBM PC, the Apple
IIe was thrown in for some reason I don't comprehend. Interesting, isn't it,
that all three BASICs are Micro$oft BASICs: BASICA, GW-BASIC, and Apple$oft
BASIC. I don't know if the results reflect on the machines or on the BASICs, or
on both.
