The comment reminds me of a manager I knew once who wouldn't believe
that Sparcstation 10 pizza boxes were more powerful than his old
fridge size sun 4/490 servers. After all, they were too small -- how
could they be so powerful?  Before dismissing the idea as "silly", you
ought to try it out.

The obvious 8086isms. Furthermore, the whole machine is dirty -- too
much ten year old backward compatibility. You cannot, however, beat
the price/performance.
