[SunRescue] Offerings

[Jonathan Eisch]

I have an NT box at my home office.  It's a full tower.  Whenever someone sees the
computer they always comment "Wow, that must be a really fast computer!"
Naturally, they assume that my SS5 pizzabox is slow.  Same with laptops.  I have a
sparcbook, and an old NCR 386 laptop.  The NCR is about twice as big, and three
times as heavy.  People seem to think that the NCR is my new speedy laptop.
I don't really get it.
