[luau] Linux in China

[W. Wayne Liauh]

The note that I received that accompanies the link:

"Just threw away my Intel 66 MHz 486 machine (nobody wants it), which my 
company bought for over $5,000.

Now I can buy a PC with dual CPUs (for a "total of 3.6 GHz"--since clock 
rate becomes irrelevant after a certain speed, 2x1.8 GHz is actually 
better than 1x3.6 GHz, if some company is dumb enough to try to produce 
it) for less than 40% of that price. Things have really changed, haven't 
they?

I think this superPC will be very useful in doing graphics (especially 
video editting), and as a thin-client server. But I am doing neither of 
these. :-("
