- I was saddened to find out that the 486 33MHz beats the pants off the
- Mac IIci even with a 50MHz DayStar Power Cache installed. The 486 is
- more than twice as fast according to Matlab Benchmarks and just counting
- the time for intense calculations. Power Cache has FPU also. The 486 sure
- does fly, but hey, my Mac is friendly. I like that when I/m not in a
- hurry!
