count me in  -- I got the frenzy I guess ..part of it the fact that my first
pentium 90 mhz machine saw about 3/4K nps with crafty back whenver crafty was
started...a 1000x fold increase...so I'm  humbled and awed by how far PCs have
come in the last 12 years or so on technology basis...meanwhile , dedicated
machines have been frozen into time -> making then great collectibles !! old PCs
are routinely trashed, while old dedicated units are swapped as if they came
from  the holy grail (as they should be!)
