I've been going backwards for so long I stopped looking. :-)

I recently built a new Duron 800 system (OCed to 943MHz) to replace my old
K5/133, so hopefully I'm going forward now.
My most recent personal milestone was to pass 1 P90 year on DCs - not much,
I know. I was annoyed that I fell just a few percent short when I turned in
my previous result, and would have had to wait five months to turn in the
next if I hadn't upgraded. The new machine runs fifteen to twenty times as
fast, so I should double that in a couple of months or so.
