Umm, their fastest chip (PPro200) manages half the SPECint95 and a
third the SPECfp95 as a top Alpha. How exactly does that make them
"top of the class"?

I think they should wear a dunce hat and go stand in the corner. Or
maybe go to the headmaster's office to get their ass caned for such
blatant lies.

Heh, heh.
