For simplicity's sake, if you would put whatever benchmark tests you want done onto the hard drive in advance, run them yourself on your stock machine, then bring it by after the upgrade is done and run it on mine (by sticking the HD in) and we can run it on my upgraded machine. That's fine with me--as you say, you can do that with your OS/2 HD. If anyone in or near L.A. has a Linux HD and wants to do it, we can do that too. ------- Randal J.
