    @Andreas_Wolf:
    I thought you wouldn't leave this unanswered ;-)
    But since the dawn of time, the earlier message has been considered the one delivered first, not the one sent first.
    Therefore, Tuvok was faster.

    @Sailor

    Thanks for sharing and spending the time to do the tests!



    The reality is the Mirari or a Powerbook 1.67 (given they are about the same speed wise) is perfectly fast for MorphOS for most things. Wayfarer is about the only application that will use as much power as you can provide it, but for email, word processing, spreadsheets, games, pagestream, crm, etc. They are fast enough to get the job done well imho anyways.

    Sure I wouldn't say no to a faster system, but given how good MorphOS is I'm in no hurry...

    I'm at a loss how to parse this. How can a message be delivered earlier if sent later?
    I'm sure my message was delivered to the MorphZone forum earlier than Tuvok's message was delivered to the Amigans.net forum because I was faster at sending than Tuvok :-)

    I think that it is clear:
    - message concerns my article on intuitionbase.com. It means, that message has to be delivered to somebody who can fix it. And it is @walkero ( admin of intuitionbase.com ) or me. And because it was me who fix it, important was message to me.

    Message from Tuvok@amigans.net arrived to me earlier, and I fix it. After that I read your message. So, you was late this time ;-)

    But don´t worry, I have in plan to write more articles in future and you will have many opportunities for corrections.

    I was first! Reading and writing. And generally. And being childish!

    They just used a second core as random generator or pi calculator, because those "tasks" do not require any OS call.

    And they even managed to crash that simple demo at a live event!
