Definitly! I've now got a IIsi and a Pentium 100. The P100  runs circles
around the IIsi, but I usually end up using dt for logging in (and then
rlogin over to the P100).

Michael's right. One way to look at it is that 1.2 came out 18 months ago,
and so lacks a LOT of improvements! But you can get dt up now, and
get 1.3 in a bit (after you've paid off downloading 1.2 :-)
