Here's a myth that's going to die a quick death.  Two years
ago, some Sun architectures were much quicker than the
equivalent PC architectures.  It just ain't true anymore.

It was the surprise of my life when I discovered that a Dell
486-25 (running Dell Unix) was a snappier machine that a Sun
IPC, but it's true.

PC hardware has grown up in the last couple of years.
