I wouldn't buy a GE power system, but GE has sure as heck made me a lot of money as an investment !!!! I wouldn't buy a fighter plane or missile, but LMT has been a heck of an investment as well... If I used that criteria alone, I woulda missed those 2...

It was I who made the initial comment you are incorrectly quoting. I've read all Lynch's books too, and in fact I own a PII-300 system. But I regret it. I would buy an AMD 333 in no-time if it cost less, was actually a faster computer and was better all around. But I'm not a typical buyer. Your average Joe out there will just buy whatever says the number of MHz he wants and costs 300 bucks less. Wouldn't you? He's gonna look on the wall above all these computers and say, "Hey, if I can get a computer that's 333 for 300 bucks less than that one that's only 233, why not? Agreed?

Max, Re: "Would you buy a PII-333MHz as of now?" No, I'd buy three. Actually, I bought two PII 233 MHz systems, one IDE and the other SCSI re hard drive and MO drive. These are to check out all our console software, drivers, etc., on the PII platform, with our wonderful OS/2 operating system. Works great. The third 233 is for my office, as my 486-50 is not keeping up anymore with some of the tools I need to use. Did I consider AMD or Cyrix? Absolutely not. Remember the poor yield produces poor reliability chips premise? It is true, and if you don't believe it, ask IBM. Tony
