  29. I've seen Executor running on two or three machines, the latest being a
  30. Pentium 120.  Executor on that machine is about as fast--near the speed
  31. of a 20 mhz 68040--as Apple's old 68k emulator on a 66 mhz PowerMac
  32. (Apple's new emulator is much faster).  Unfortunately, while this is
  33. respectable processor emulation from Executor, its video speeds (under
  34. Linux Xwindows) on the machine I saw were pretty horrendous.  I
  35. certainly wouldn't want to play arcade games in Executor.
