Wow!  Guess what Randy got for Christmas!

A 68010!  How did my family ever know?  I just dropped that sucker in my Amiga
( and broke the power LED and the button on the disk drive in the process )
and I now have a 68010 Amiga!

Now what?


I run some demos, and they look the same, I run programs and they look the 
same.  Will Mandelbrots run faster?  What is the advantage?  Is there a test
program I could run that would show me the difference ( I have two Amigas
in this house (and the Mac from work!) ).  Just wanted to know, thanks gang.

PS, before everyone goes off and asks me where I got a 68010 (which is what
I have been asking everyone for the longest time) I just finally decided to
ask my room mate for one, he works for Motorola (and was sick that the 68000
in the Amiga is not made by them).  He just took this out of a machine they
were taking apart (he just asked me if I needed a SCSI hard disk drive, dang!)

PPS, what does an NTSC Amiga program look like on the PAL monitor?  Does it
only display in the bottom 200 lines of the monitor when opening a screen?
Do they have the spaces between the lines when not in interlace mode, Do they
have an interlace mode?  No, they wouldn't.  So they just duplicate every 
line twice when in (fake non interlace mode)  But boy they must have flicker
*all* the time!
