I am attempting to convince a relation to purchase an Amiga.  He works for a
reasonably well known hard disk manufacturer.  His company gets a discount on
M*c products, so the M*cIIcx is about the same price as the Amiga 2500. I, of
course, tell him not to be silly, and to go buy an Amiga, since I have tons of
excellent PD software, the hardware is better, it multitasks, etc, et al...  I
am beginning to convince him.  

Trouble is, he is a serious hardware designer.  One of his *needs* is a good
version of Spice.  I grabbed ASpice awhile back, but it is not Amigatized, it
doesn't do graphics, and it doesn't make use of the 68020 or 68881.  He needs
complex input waveforms, graphics, 50-100 nodes, and an Arexx port would be
nice (he doesn't know about that yet.  But I know he could use it).  So, folks,
any ideas?  Like, the future of his purchase hangs on this!

(of course, I told him about the '286 card, and I*M compatibility.  that is a
possibility.  But, like, *yuck*!!)
