I'm wondering just how good the MAC-XL really is:
My previous experience with the Lisa indicated **ENORMOUS** amounts of
time for disk I/O, on the order of MINUTES, sometimes, to load or put
away a program.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed, and if the pixel size problem
is fixed NOW, as opposed to "manana"?
Additionally, info I have seen indicates that the XL is about .2 slower
than the Mac due to having the Mac's ROM in RAM. Any comments?
