[SunRescue] TCX for SS%?

[Eric Ozrelic]

The speed is not that bad. I use a S24 on a SS5/110MHz. I think
it's ok. I don't use Netscape, I use IE, but that seems to run ok. I think
the additional color depth more then makes up for the slight speed
difference
over a GX based frame buffer. I also run WindowMaker and it seems to
run fast enough. Sure things don't move at the speed of light, but it's not
a painful experience to use.

Regards,

Eric Ozrelic
