Just to make sure we stay on topic, let's be sure that the discussion of
processors remains JAWS-related. And if it's just going to turn into a
philosophic discussion of processor speed, then best take it to private
e-mail. I'm trying to keep the list volume down a little so people don't
feel the list is just a discussion among a few. Since I took over the
list, the number of users on it has grown to over 600, so it's important
that we don't get bogged down with just a discussion, comparison of our
different systems, and so on. Before posting, ask yourself, (a) Is this
related to JAWS? And (b) is this something that either answers a specific
question or would genuinely interest a good majority of the over 600
people?
