Sigh.  I don't require speed.  But still, being attached to an IBM PC?  To
have that feeling usually means that the machine did something special for
you.  Kinda like how people feel about their first car, etc.

I never said "special" == "useful".  I have lots of stuff that isn't really 
highly usefull (I supose I could extract real "usefull" work from a Sun3/160,
but it isn't the cheapest way to get the work done).  I just wanted to know
what the story behind the machine was.
