We are at that point now.

It isn't 5 years away.  It is today (actually a few years ago when the 500Mhz
machines came out).  This is the future with respect to thee release date for
the PII 500Mhz machines and we now have SMP programs as well.  The future is
today.  :)

Again, it is just as easy for the critics (ie: "programs are 2500 or below") to
state that programs are performing at 2600 and above.  I do not see why I should
be the one to wait and be silent.  If you do not like my posts or this topic,
don't participate.

If you want to argue the other side, show me the data.  :)

I do not see why I should stop if I am right?

Best Regards,
