I was wrong because I looked at benchmarks and compared the perceived speed in daily use, whereas your used your imagination to decide that a Sparc IPX is considerably faster than a 486/100. Or was it that my clocks run differently depending on which machine I was using? I can't remember now. At any rate, you're right; I'm wrong. > No, it's not like that.
