David asked for proof of the apps they compared on 604 vs Pro, they
DID NOT COMPARE ANY.  The only thing that was compared was the
Bytemark tests.  Joe comes back again, gives the URL- and once again,
still no app comparison.  Have either of you actually _looked_ at this
URL?  Can you understand the request?

PPC is faster running Bytemarks. That is all that it shows.  Wow,
looking at SpecMarks, the Pro is faster, guess it's the faster
processor then.
