: Try a mid-level Mac OS machine with a fast 603e (e.g., 225 MHz Mac 6500)
: or one of the 180 - 200 mHz 604 Macs (e.g., Mac 7300). Both have speed to
: burn and will let you do anything on the Internet you might care to do.
: For games, obviously the faster the better.

<snicker>  needless to say, noone outside of the Church of the Mac
would claim that these mid-range PPC chips are faster than a PII/266.
