Well I had thought of that as well, and thought it might be nice to do 
side by side comparisons and keep the hardware as similar as possible. I 
will attempt aquiring the workstations next week when I visit said 
client. I think they would make a good test bed because they are 
absolutely identical down to the screws...;-) Well ok some harddisks 
have changed over the years but vid, mlb, nic ram cpu their identical. 
they are pII450's as I recall. Would MAC G3 be close to that in 
performance, because I have one of those as well. Sorry only running @ 
100bt. But I think that would be representative of most sites, well the 
average ones anyway.

How do you spell cooperation? Pessimists use each other,
but optimists help each other. Collaboration feeds your
spirit, while competition only stokes your ego.
