there are several of us here with POWER2 machines, dave, sridhar and myself
being three of them.  if you ever want to try to see how much faster they will
render postscript, let us know, i'm sure we'd be more than happy to help you
find out (i know i am at least) and if you think it's worth it after testing
you can always pick up a cheap POWER2 machine on ebay.
