Joe, you've said numerous times that the 604 beats the Pro on
_applications_ under NT.  Photomorph was NOT tested on the Pro, as for
Microstation, results weren't available on the site but I don't recall
in the November issue of it being tested on the Pro as well.  So now
"Bytemarks" is an application?  Do you really believe anyone is going
to fall for this crap?
