- I refuse to believe that. I use an 020/14mhz and I am rarely finding myself
- bothered by it's speed.. I wait more for the Pentium-90s that they have in
- the computer labs here at school..and the Centris 650's.. lets not even
- talk about those.. it takes like 5 minutes for photoshop to load, and the
- machines are so bogged down with virtual memory that sometimes just
- accessing the menu bar can be a cumbersome task.. and Netscape.. netscape is
- slow and boggish in it's own right, it's jerky, it loads weird, and it has
- crashed every time I've used it this semester (that is about 35+ sessions).

-
- I just ordered an 030/50mhz with 4 megs of fast ram.. by my
- calculations I should notice about a 15x increase in speed, or so. I am
- really gonna like having that puppy. Everything should run smooth as silk.
