- Well, as to the Performa being a cripple, the point is that it has a 32Mhz
- Processor, (as you said) with a 16 Mhz external bus, which is a heck of a
- bottleneck, if it wasn't for that, it would be a heck of alot faster and
- would compete with higher end models. Thus Crippled. The IIsi was also
- crippled as I remember with a 20 Mhz processor so it wouldn't compete with
- the IIci. See the discussion on 16Mhz Busses for an explanation.. Sigh.
