Bah! A veritable luxury.  Why you should try compiling world on a MicroVAX
II or VAXstation 2000 (and I won't even go into poor fellows who're using
VAX 11/750's).  On those machines's it takes the better part of a month to
compile world.  Why I *dream* about compiling world on such a powerful
machine as a Mac IIci.
