    I don't use spreadsheets (at least not ones large enough to justify
getting a math copro) and I'm not going to spend $200+ so I can get
instant Mandelbrots.  ;-)  What about toolbox routines that use math? 
Will things like QuickDraw II, ACE (and other compression algorithms)
and Pointless speed up?  I would buy it for those reasons.
