I think you read this incorrectly. Read it again. "Anyone who cares about speed is not going to use a 486" - does anyone else fail to see the logic in that statement? To put it another way, if I have an application that requires speed, I'm not going to use a Coleco Color Computer no matter how many optimizations someone may have added for it. I'll use the right tool for the job. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
