Hey, when we went to the MicroVAX-II we were happy because it was about
1.25 times our old 780, for our jobs.  Where'd you get that 0.9 figure?

Nominally, I think.  I don't know for what workload, though.  As for
your first sentence, give the PII/300 a while to come down in price and
I might buy one, though, and would then be a counterexample.  (I hate
the Intel "architecture".  It just seems to be the most crunch for the
dollar at present - we have a P166 in the house already, for much that
reason....)
