Did you get lucky, or did you buy hardware to compensate for the Pi's poor =

Some second-hand Thinkpads don't need graphics acceleration to have good pe=

 1Gbps.  ("Some":  It apparently depends whether the BIOS disables caching =
for the video region.  If it does, performance dies.)

Anyway, I am apparently quite depressed today, so I'm sorry.  It's not a go=
