Maybe I should trade in my 2000. :-). As long as you choose the right specs you can make any system look faster. How about line draw speed. Polygon fill speed. How about floating point speed? How about number of simultaneous executing tasks? How about number of simultaneous on screen colors? How about number of audio channels? How about built in speech synthesizer? . . . -- Dale Luck Boing, Inc. {uunet!cbmvax|pyramid}!amiga!boing!dale Although I do contract work for Amiga-LosGatos, my opinions probably don't represent those of Commodore or its management or its engineers, but I think the world would be a better place if they did.
