No, but only because I never *had* a Pentium 233 :)  I went straight 
form a Pentium 166 to an AMD K6-2 300 (or 350, can't remember now).

Actually, it draws 75 per second :)

Besides, this is something I've found I'm more sensitive to as I age. 
Sure, I *used* to play all those old games that ran at, like, 20-30fps, 
but I can't *anymore*.
