...play Quake, you might need some new hardware. Quake runs on high-end 486 machines with at least 8 megabytes of RAM--but just barely. And you can't run Quake on Macintosh computers or older 486 machines without floating processor units, like the 486-SX models...
...supercomputers sold to date. So far only U.S. and Japanese companies have entered the race. While Cray's machines still lead in worldwide sales, Japanese manufacturers may be pulling ahead by some measures of supercomputer performance, notably processing speed. Earlier this month NEC introduced a new series, called SX-3, billed as the world's fastest supercomputers, even though the machines will not be available until June 1990. Cray discounts NEC's claim to top speed, contending that such measurements are based on "theoretical peak performance" figures rather than a practical application. NEC insists that the SX...
...mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed cyclops -- for a split second."

...UNDERLYING cynical mentality emerges from the seemingly pointless use of period sets and big-name stars. As Grecians merrily dance, Kevin busily clicks away with his SX-70, because things are no longer real to children unless they have verification--the media age strikes again. The main impediment to the effectiveness of such tactics arises from Kevin and the midgets playing things straight while surrounded by celebrities camping it up. The result is unfocussed, if not unsettling...
