Now that I think of it, this should also inject new life into this debate." Defender2000 points to the Yahoo article. Update: 08/14 09:30 PM by T : Original headline was wrong, said ".4FPS" but as cxreg pointed out, .4 frame per second isn't .4 seconds per frame. Sorry.

    0.4sec/Frame rendering is more powerful than Excel has EVER had. This is the first time I've a convincing argument in favor of Quattro based systems.

    Has anyone pointed out that .4 FPS != 4 seconds per frame? I can't believe that nobody noticed that error! I must be a genius to notice that! All this time, I thought that Slashdot had educated, bright readers - I guess not!

    After seeing the movie, I don't believe that more than 30 minutes was spent on the writing process.
