That's all very nice but what was the tea like? I don't know anything about benchmarking and boards, I'm a cameraman. All I know is that the Apple stuff seems to work okay, and I can afford it, so I'm a happy (if lunatic) bunny. > >I'll also never forgive apple for what they did to the clones, greedy >bastards. Even during those days, I never would have considered a clone. Maybe an ice cleam clone. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
