WOW!!  Motorola must really be souping up the old 8-bit 6800 chip!!  Now they
can power Mac SE's at 16MHz and still beat the crap out of 386/25's!!  When
can I get one!!  I wonder how it stands up against my 386/33??

Sorry, I couldn't resist coming back at your missing zero. :-)

Rhys.

P.S. Flaming someone else's machine is simply childish.  Each machine is good
     at some particular application, and horrible on others.  Try generating
     arithmetic progressions of primes on anything less than a network of
     Suns and you can get ready for a LONG WAIT!!
