Paul--
I caught the tail end of a commercial this evening, and wonder if you have seen it.

It depicted a Pentium II chip strapped on the back of a snail, then asked why shouldn't you have the fastest computer chip in the USA. The chip being sold was the "G3", supposedly running 3X the speed of any PII out there. From Apple, as a PowerMac.

I was quite surprised...first that Apple was launching a new machine, and second that the speed jump was so great.

Then I have heard that Intel is showing 1000mhz PII's already...say it isn't so...is my PII/266 already a dinosaur?

I want Intel to stay competitive, but really was hoping for more than six months out of my present machine. <ggg>

BTW, oddly enough, the spellchecker doesn't like Pentium or mhz...is this really TechStocks?

cheers!
Rick
