what the hell is a 9200 Pentium Pro?
200 Mhz? isn't that a bit slow?

They already have 266 Pentium II's which is the follow-up to the old
Pentium Pros.

I don't know much about megaflops, but a regular Pentium Pro 200 Mhz
isn't THAT fast.

I would think the world's fastest computer would be a mainframe
computer that took up an entire building costing millions of dollars
to make.  

Wouldn't it be great to own a 20,000 dollar SGI workstation?
