   I am using a Dell Lattude PII 233 Mhz, the only time it sees slow is if I am   
   compiling a program.  Atleast it can keep up with my typing unlike Word on a   
   so-called faster machine.  Yes, I was surprised to find myself out typing   
   Word on a 1 Ghz machine a little while ago.  I always seem to move to WordPad   
   to do my basic typing there.
