Apple II in Scientic American

["Ben Lai" <benlai@unixg.ubc.ca>]

I was reading the January issue of Scientific America on the plane (only
thing available) and came across a column about robots, and they have a
little chart comparing the "raw computing muscle" of all the top machines
of their time.  You can see it here:

(Just click on the "More on this article/SIDEBAR" part)

First thing I noticed was the huge gap between the Apple II and Commodore
64 - considering that they had basically the same processor that's a bit
odd.  And then the Playstation2 being barely slower than a Dual G5, also a 
bit out of touch.

Oh well...
