"Everything Else Smells"

I have to believe Waitt was talking about the consumer's point of view when he said "megahertz sells". It's the first thing most people ask: "How fast is it?" They expect a single number, i.e 333MHz. Of course it's just a single component, but people (consumers) want a simple measurement. Its very easy to understand that 333 is a bigger number than 266, so it MUST be better. Totally simplistic, but I would bet clock speed alone drives more first time computer purchases than any other measurement (other than price).
