Well Randell, as soon as you can point to an Amiga with a VME bus I will compare it :-). Lets stop this shall we? Amigas aren't Suns and Suns aren't Amigas, I have one of each on my desk and find each does some things better than the other. I wouldn't recommend an Amiga to run UNIX and I wouldn't recommend a 3/{5|6}0 to do animations. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
