A 12 MHz 386?  You beat me!  Wait, was that a 386DX or an SX?  My
SX-20 was probably equivalent to a 386DX-10 in terms of speed ('cuz
of the I/O bottleneck), so perhaps I'm still in the running!

I do remember starting a compile and walking away from it, 'cuz it
wasn't particularly interesting watching it.  Nothing moved on the
screen for a LONG time.
