I wasn't correcting you, I was just providing information regarding an
even slower machine, running a Unix variant. :)
Interesting thing though, for a while I had what was called a 3b1 at
home to provide support away from the office. It was a neat little
machine with built in modem, keyboard and monitor. I think it was
monochrome. Had some kind of windowing system, but I don't believe it
was X. This thing must have had even less memory than the 3b2-400s but
I never saw the stats. I ended up figuring out how to disable the
windowing system and go the command line route as, at the time, it was
certainly faster and what I was used to.
