Fair enough. I try to find purpose for my overpowered machines, though,
even if it's only distributed.net. The next uncut line explains it all,
I think...

Indeed. I have a thing for massive overkill. The more, the better. I
probably don't need a 350 V-8 in my Jeepster either, but it feels good.
Realistically, I think we could all make due with the CPU's we had 4
years ago, but it's really nice to have more, no? All I really do is
Netscape, e-mail and ssh to a bunch of other machines. All things
considered, I'd be fine with a Lisa (had one once, it rocked for the time).

'K. Tell you what... I'll find a way to buy a new imac and trade.
