I know, I know, only a rough indication but nevertheless:
Someone I spoke to said the IIx plowed its way thru an Excel sheet
with something like 1500 records (no idea of calculations) used in
just about 30 secs. The Mac II refused to perform the calculation...
Just when you thought the Mac II was a _power_ machine ... ;)
Like we say in Holland: if I lie, I lie in commission ;)
