Go out and try a 200MHz+ PowerPC based MacOS clone using the latest
revision of its OS.  Try out Virtual PC or real PC where the PowerPC
_emulates_ a 200MHz Pentium as fast as the real thing.  After that,
you won't think it is so slow.

I thought the 68K emulation of the original PowerMacs was slow too
when they first came out, but much has changed.  And it will get
better with Rhapsody.  And there will even be 80x86 Rhapsody
machines.
