Hello World...

I got to play for an hr with the Amiga 3000 today...

	WOW...that is one slick machine!!!
	     Three Cheers for the Group at CBM...

     While I was playing, I decided to do a non-scientific benchmark..
I loaded MandelVroom 2.0 in my stock 2000 and generated a screen size 
picture of the 'Aug_85Cover' (I think that is the name) and it took 
9.47 min to complete.  I took the MandelVroom disk down to the Bit Bucket
and tested the same thing on the A3000 using the FFP mode.  It took
1.21 min to complete!!!! I was very impressed as this is what I do alot of.
     Now that I have an Amiga 3000 within walking distance I'd love to try
some other benchmarks but I don't have any.  Can someone tell me where
I can find some? (ie. Drystone 2.0 etc..)  The Bit Bucket also has a 2500/30
that I'd like to compare the 3000 with.


Thanks,

-=TheEvilAmigaHacker

ps. I know most people say that most benchmarks are a waste of time but I'd 
be interested and I would let the net know of my findings...
