BYTE's native-mode benchmarks indicate that a system from U
SA Flex ((800) 872-3539) based on AMD's 120-MHz 486 processor achieves integer performance comparable to that of the more expensive 60-MHz Pentium. The system lacks the FPU performance of a Pentium, however. The USA Flex desktop PC with 8 MB of RAM, no monitor, a 545-MB hard drive, a 3-1/2-inch floppy drive, a 256-KB write-back cache, a mouse, and a 1-MB DRAM video accelerator card costs $1049.--Dave Andrews

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
