If this eludes your sense of humor, think about it. You have raised hell about Bruce and myself running on alphas. Now you are running on a PII/300. Isn't this sort of Deja' vu? IE this is *exactly* why *I* started searching for a faster machine when I discovered there would be alphas and PII/300's. Of course I'm sure that if Bruce and I had tossed the alphas, you'd certainly have tossed the PII/300? And let Fritz (and others) eat your shorts with much faster hardware? Also... look up "hypocrite" in your handy "Webster's unabridged"... It will shed new light on this discussion...
