I've watched this "debate" go on for, what, a hundred messges?  It seems like
forever.  Of course I only "arrived" on the net a couple days ago.  So for me it
is effectively forever.

Anyway I just broke out laughing at the hilarity of the whole issue.  Byte
published the results of their benchmarks.  One guy (sorry, I forget his name
and don't want to go looking for the message) even posted the results from an
ieee benchmark.  Yet still with these numbers no one can even agree which chip
is "faster".  One message interprets the results as indicating that the 386 is
the faster chip.  The next message rejoices that the 020 is faster.  Sort of
goes to show the real value of benchmarks. :-)

By the way, none of this is in any way the opinion of AIM Technology or any
of its employees or officers.... except me that is.
