Consarnit, I sees you there talkin' yer high-falutin' book-learnin' but all I hear is "blaw blaw blaw words words libtarded words prepping free hydrogen those blast points TOO ACCURATE FOR SANDPEOPLE! blawblawblaw."
There is *one* thing I suppose you could toss out there, about the "if there is a variance..." hook: Ocassionally when bugs which affect the stability of a given model of computer are discovered which are due to sloppy or over-ambitious timing the quickest solution is usually to make changes which intentionally slow down the machine, such as inserting wait states or modifying a software driver. (The Commodore 64's serial port is the poster child for "fix it by making it slower" engineering.) So if this stupid argument is actually about whether an older SE/30 motherboard (and here I'm assuming that the older boards are the socketed ones) just might do something faster than a newer one then it's remotely possible... but as has been repeated many, many, MANY times the result will have absolutely nothing to do with the CPU being socketed. The obvious tradeoff for that tiny bit of extra speed is having a machine that's susceptable to whatever crash bug the engineering change was made to prevent.
Of course, a even later engineering change might fix the problem and improve the firmware so the newest machines perform even better than the original buggy versions...
*snicker* There's multiple kinds of crazy, Trash. Don't worry, you've got your own cool bucket. }. . . toss uniserver into another class, my crazy bucket runneth over already around here!
Aaaah, Three's Company. I can't think of a finer source of intellectual banter than that.
I have this long boring story about how watching "Three's Company" during my formative years prompted a revalation that basically cured me of the desire to watch sitcoms, but to keep it short... ever seen the South Park Episode where they regularly call out that the "Simpsons Did it!"? Three's Company did it *way* before the Simpsons did. (Granted, Lucy or the Honeymooners did a lot of it first, but Three's Company filled out the "Sexual Innuendo" plot category that was verboten before the 1970s.)
