Someone recently sent me two old digests from volume 3, just in case we didn't have them in the archive (actually, I believe that we do have all the issues on tape somewhere, but it was still a nice thing for him to do). When I looked over them, I found a very interesting message from one Mike Caplinger that really took me back (this is from v3n4): __________ It's my opinion after a few years of using Suns that if you have to do any swapping at all, you're going to lose. One meg machines have to do a lot of swapping in normal use, while two meg machines don't. The performance of a one meg diskless machine is, as you say, mediocre. Two meg diskless machines do pretty well. In fact, I was amazed by the difference. __________ Those were the days. William LeFebvre <phil@Rice.edu>
