I believe you are the closest to the truth about Tolkiens works. But is wasn't an alternate mythology for Earth. It is a mythology for the English. There are Greek, Roman, Finnish, etc mythology and now there is an English Mythology. In a few millenia the stories will become real mythology and I'm sure Tolkien will be smiling.
I have used this Nick on IRC for as long as I can remember and I use it here on Slashdot. Kudos to whoever knows who it is.
No PIII at any current MHz rating can outpower a 333MHz iMac. Make it with a PIII Xeon chip and then we can talk about similar horsepower. Too bad about the $5000 pricetag that machine would have.
