- To support Stu's point, I am sitting here at work using two PCs running
- Windows 3.11. One of them is running Netscape - the other is formatting a
- floppy disk. Why is it Karl, that two DX2-66 ("much faster systems") are
- required to complete these tasks simultaneously. I suppose you don't
- find this at all suprising. Using these machines is bloody infuriating
- after being used to the apparent speed of my 14Mhz Amiga.
