Please re-read everything _carefully_.

An a1200 is _not_ the same as a K6450 that Crafty was running on.  That is at
least a 3x time handicap.

See what is wrong with your reasoning now?

Uri was being sarcastic in that Vincent always assumes all sorts of nonsensical
things...  such as the above was "equal hardware"...
