I think this would be valuable, but would it be possible for everything
needed to fit on one floppy? This way one could take the floppy to
computer stores to test the potential purchases easily, before shelling
out the money. Also the hash amount should be selectable for comparison
with minimum/maximum memory systems, and the effect of memory on the
C-mark.
