Great thing, if it were this way - this would nivellate reasonable. Away from
this, how would you estimate the influence of the other things I've mentioned -
such as RAM and books ? I think I've seen quite a few results 18 : 2 and so on.

And, be confident : I missunderstand nothing - at least not, as what this list
is concerned. I know and watch it from it's VERY beginning !
And this is quite a time by now, ain't it ?
