And they were correct. However, they didn't consider the eventually

The network performance of the cluster of Apollos we had was awful.
I don't know anything about how you set that up, never liked token rings,
maybe it is possible to set it up wrong, I dunno. All I know was network
performance was awful on the Apollos.
It's a statistically valid sampling of one case :-)
