Phil,

As I recall, a /38 MOD 3 couldn't even IDLE quickly, and 20 users playing
Battleship would tax the thing.  I can just imagine the poor thing thrashing
away.  Did you ever have a chance to laugh at someone with a 4 MB B10 when
the /400 came out who was complaining about 5 second response times?  They
didn't know how good they had it!
