Hello Neil,
Nice to have a response from you.

Assuming is not *ALTERING* and I was 'nice' until I read your
comments; now I'm 'not feeling very nice'.

Yeah. 'It' has, but I've got 2 cpu's, don't forget my Amiga!

Don't be an asshole, Neil, I think everyone knows that we are talking
about a *Personal Computer*, ie., a 'one-of' thing.
I now quote AMD (And no altering other peoples quotes)
"The AMD 1.4 266 DDR, The most Powerful Chip in the world, 30% more
powerful than the Intel 1.7 chip". AMD are, of course, biased, but
who am I, or you, for that matter,to be qualified enough to dispute
those claims?

And what would I do with it? Re-Install OS3.5? (OS3.9, no comment!),
Re-Install FinalWriter '97. Photogenics, ImageFX, Imagine, Dopus
Magellan, and a host of other software that is no longer supported?
I have it all, Neil, and it's no good to me now.
Besides, if something went wrong with 'my' CS-PPC, could I get it
fixed quick, replace it? Shit, Neil, what would the cost and the
Downtime be?
OK, Neil, I'm "Nice" again (Christ, I hate that word 'Nice', I was
taught (50 Years ago) *NEVER* to use that word in everyday language.
Love'ya Neil.
Tom Bailie. Derry, N.Ireland,
Some of these days I'll attach my 'Assets' Tagline.
(And that's a threat!)
