slower than the lastet ipad is not the same as unimaginably slow. and you say 'even slower than the iphone 5' like that's super slow- c'mon, you know that's pretty dishonest- the 5 is 2nd on most of those tests. ;D i look at those results, and they show, as i said, an excellent gpu.

He did not say what you "quoted" him saying.

nope, but unfortunately, usenet is not a particularly rich medium with the proper formatting to express what we want; the single quote here is used as a paraphrase- that's a old, non standard notation that i learned in a philosophy class long ago; i would prefer italics for emphasis, but hey, what are you going to do on usenet?

i'm surprised this is the first time you've noticed me doing such. ;D

as is, i'm fine with my paraphrasing of "not only slower than...it's slower than..." as 'even slower than...' if kdt has any issues with it, i'm sure he'll bring it up and i'll address it then.
