forgive the history, but early in our marriage, my computer operator wife (how we met is another story) got a job with a small insurance co with a s/360-22 running some flavor of DOS (I think). She worked overnight, and she loaded the card read, submitted the jobs, and took out her novel.

I still like MIPS. I know, I'm getting old! I believe everything you say about MIPS being meaningless or whatever, but I still think that if you are looking at 3 or 4 models of CPUs, the MIPS rating gives you a good feel for how fast they are, especially if they are all in the same processor
