Is there anyone on the net who gives a tinker's damn about applications? The important thing is to have a 68000 CPU and nifty specs for sound and graphics. It doesn't matter if you ever *use* that stuff or not. Besides, hopefully someone will put Unix on an ST or an Amiga. That's another important thing to have, even though you have no use for it. -- Doug Pardee -- CalComp -- {seismo!noao,decvax!noao,ihnp4}!terak!doug
