So, lets see what you're saying here.... A 100 MHz+ Pentium is faster
than a 66 Mhz Sparc.... Wow what an incredible revelation. And how many
years did you go to school to be able to impart such wisdom on the
computing community. As for the rest of your jibberish, I suggest that
you take your toy's and go home and play... And when you grow up maybe
you will understand why true workstations are needed and when you use
them. You may even learn how to accurately compare computer systems and
provide factual information to your peers. Until then please quit
wasting net bandwidth and keep your opinions to yourself.
