Wow, that makes a difference. However, if Dvorak really said what
I think I remember him saying, then he would have been talking in
U.S. dollars. But, again, the Canadian dollar back then was a lot
closer to the U.S. one, around 90 to 95 cents, if I remember
correctly.

This also shows how big a gap there is between the needs and
desires of gamers and what I think works for me, i.e., working
at transforming text (with a few graphics) rather than video.

Anyway, congratulations on putting together the computer you
want.
