Does anyone have a MAD Computer? It was just another boring peecee
but I liked the name of the computer. I believe it was the fastest
computer you could buy for some small amount of time- an early 80386
PC running at a whopping 16 mhz.
Just curious... I just like the concept...
Perhaps they should have used the slogan...
"Everyone should have a MAD computer in their home!"
Or perhaps not...

I e-bumped into a guy who knows *all* about MAD. I've captured some of
his knowledge for posterity:

MAD = Magnetic Anomoly Detector
Or in other words it's used in Anti-Submarine Warfare.
(Sorry couldn't resist, yes I realize in this case this isn't what you meant.)
