Paul - Glad to see you're using the Register as a source of news information -- I thought for sure I had heard you describe them as a joke publication. (except I suppose, when you find news in there you like right?:) )

"The chip doesn’t perform all that much better on most software than a 1GHz Pentium III, except on streaming media applications." |
