So...? I have 225MHz 603, not even a lowest end in Apple product
line now, and it plays GS much faster - yes I am playing
DiversiTune. (I don't like synthLab)

Yes, I am using 44KHz (much better).

Yes, the machine is still faster than my GS. 

So?

I would like to say this is totally B*S*. I used Bernie daily. I know,
as a real GS user with a 9MHz Zip, what is speed. Bernie on my machine
is way faster than my GS with accelerator. Come on, you don't have to
keep saying the wrong facts.

You think. You think.

I own both, I used both. I know which one is faster, way faster.
Have you really do anything? As I said, without slowing the Bernie
down, even Rastan is unplayable - it is way faster than my Zip GS.

This is politically problem. I stays out of these.

And still talking of 68K Mac where PowerMac is already on the 3rd
generation is like comparing Apple IIGS with Apple II+. I found that
stupid in discussing too. So what if my PC can emulates App le II+?
Well, so?

I have a feeling that supertimer have not used the Bernie before and
keep spreading FUDs. I will stop the arguments from here with him
now.
