I would think most of us here would understand the significance of P2, P3, etc, performance in comparison to VPC and Mac DOS card performance.... but these processors, unfortunately have little bearing on "Mac-n-DOS" issues [unless Mac emulation is involved] . So perhaps you are straying needlessly off topic here.... However, I read in a [New Zealand] newsgroup about two days ago, one hopeful soul trying to flog off his old 486 for NZ$700 [a way, way too ridiculous a price even in NZ dollars] citing it as being great for email and as a "cool learning environment" for kiddies. You can guess the response [and ear-bashing] that he received.
