*AHEM!*
You're probably a very busy guy, but I'm just posting this so you can be
reminded of it again.

I just got back from saving the world from aliens, when I overheard
The Pacifist remarking on Oct 5...

>Oh right. Sorry... I'm not dismissing 486s, but you can't hide the fact
>that they ARE slower than modern PCs.......
I acknowledge that. But I don't want you instilling what astro called a
"trendbitch" mindset in faq readers, that's not the impression that I'd
like.

If someone wants to play with a 486 like me, then they have to forego the
craving and peer pressure to upgrade and settle for a lower standard.
;-) Hope you got all that.
