BTW, from what I did read, I agree. This lolly-gagging by a company that retains so many creative people is absolutely ridiculous. 68020's are cheap, so soon shall be 030's when the 040's begin to trickle in. Now is not the time to bring a cheap 030 machine in, due to cost, but now is the time to begin cheap 020 production. The 68K is just too damn slow, especially on a machine that: 1. Multi-tasks. 2. Is supposed to be highly interactive. 3. Is used in animation. It takes beaucoup time to render anything at 7.16 MHz. One small glitch, though. Some programs, oddly enough, do NOT run under a 68020 AT ALL. Some programmers weren't too careful, apparently. ================================================================================ | Brandon G.
