 Jim, are you there?! Are you telling me that I dont know what I'm talking
about:-) Did you knew that I was talking about the Personal Iris, and
do you know what computer it is?
 If not let me give you an hint... It's a real time graphics workstaion
with special 3D custom chip and a 33mhz R2000 (a RISC CPU from MIPS in case
you didn't knew that already).
 Well I better know what I'm talking about since I work for SGI and work
from the software and hardware side of the machine, I can say the same for
the amiga but using it around 8 hours every day should tell you something...
 By the way, Still want to race:-) :-).
Well sir, Do you want Unix? nice GFX? Speed? etc (etc will make some people
jump to the ceiling and I have enought of people posting falmes in public)
 Amiga dont match with the above.... But if you want X11 and have an amiga
and dont need the above well forget what I'm saying!
 And I based my price on the PUBLIC CURRENT PRICES! I still remenber people
like you '*?all?*' saying I was in the could when I anounced the Personal.
That was a year ago! (already!:-(...) SGI shiped the same date I told:-)
 And I say it again they will strik back... 
And PLEASE ALL OF YOU SEND ME MAIL ,DONT POST HERE...
to make things clear now that people 'forced' me to say what I was talking 
about--THE SUBJECT IS ****AMIGA A GOOD GFX TERMINAL****.
 And myself if I needed X11 I would get it for my 2000.
I'm not putting down in anyway the amiga, just make people aware of what other
things are on the market... I have a project that might make SGI user get
an amiga... So how his the bad guy in the story:-)
