  I handpicked the most common U5 CPU.  The vast majority of U5s are
270MHz/256KB cache units, by leaps and bounds.  The fact that you have
a particularly nice one means nothing, other than you've got a half
decent machine.

  Oh, and by the way, your sin was being an ASSHOLE.  At least there's
some consistency in this world.
