Double Quibble
YOU SAY THAT "Speed Doubler lives up to its name" (New on the Menu, December '95, page 49), but if you check the product package and advertising, you will notice that Speed Doubler is being targeted not just at Power Mac owners but at owners of earlier Macs as well.
For those owners, Speed Doubler is truly misnamed. I found the program to be buggy, conflicting with my other extensions and causing crashes. You should run your tests on all the machines a product is marketed for before you make any claims as to product performance.

/ We reported only on the speed benefits that Power Macs got from Speed Doubler's new emulator -- benefits that we thought seemed too good to be true. Clearly Speed Doubler is a product appropriate for Power Mac users only. We too experienced crashes with version 1.0, but the latest version of the software is very stable. /SJS
