  Now James...That was me before I was trying to control my blood
pressure.  Nowadays I will simply try to educate the misinformed...not
toast them.  It's not their fault...truly accurate information is
very, very hard to find on subjects like this.  For supercomputers,
the documentation is never released to the public.  For PeeCee
processors, the glossy MARKETING information is forced down the
public's throats.
