Excuse me but you did say 32Kx32K for a blit op no? How is this so, I mean why
is such a large blit capacity offerred? Am I correct in my interpretation that
1 Giga pixels may be operated on by the blitter at one time? How is this abil-
ity expected to be used?

My my, these are only questions here...and nary a byte added to the signal of
this discussion.  My apologies to all but I really do not understand what the
new Agnus chip will be capable of doing with this feature.
