The problem with you Mac/IBM lamers is that most of y'all (especially
Macintrash users) have never opened a computer, but rather use their computer
as a typewriter.  If you want a typewriter, I guess an IBM/Mac will suffice. 
For those elite few who actually want to mess with their computer and enjoy
_it_, get an Apple II, GS, (Comodore? Amiga? dunno...).

If you had _high-quality_ software which was written for use at 1Mhz, 12Mhz is
a 1200% increase.  If you have a program which runs sucky at 66Mhz, even a
"great" Pentium will still run it sucky, since you only have a, say, 25%-100%
performance increase.  BTW- AppleWorks v4.02 is the BEST Word Processor ever
written IMHO.

Get off your high horse, realize you were wrong, buy a GS, and live happily
ever after.
