Are these mega-huge? I know some benchmark got so big it has to be distributed on CD-ROM. FYI--everyone on the list--The only bechmarks that will be done (by me, at least) will be in Windows 95 or perhaps the command line (DOS). I do not have OS/2, Linux, or anything else on the machine and I'm not going to put it on. Sorry if that's a bummer for you. I'd also suggest that everyone with a 701 do these benchmarks on their own machines so we can see how much variance there is across machines as we aggregate the results. ------- Randal J.
