As well, I am sure that the amiga can do the same. It sure can! And more! Heck dude, not only was I downloading a w/ Zmodem, Sculpt4D'ing a pic, and writing a letter on ProWrite, I had TWO other rendering programs [Turbo Silver and Videoscape) working on another pic and rendering a 200 frame animation, Modeler 3D sitting on an object, DPaint3 working on a 30 frame anim, PageStream puttering out an ad to the Laser printer, and a few shells decompressing some archives that were being batched downloaded. Alot of these applications are video intensive---oops, forgot to add, Sonix Progressive playing rock music in the background! How's that for a 4Mb 68000 based machine w/ a 40Mb HD? I'd like to see you Wacintosh do that w/ the same configuration? BTW, what were YOU using, a Mac+, SE or II??? Now if I had an A3000 w/ 16Mbs & 2Mbs chip...hmmm???? >What do these names have in common? >Bob, Flo, Augie, Curtis, Gordon, Rick, Rhonda, Meep, Bismark, Skip, and Harry > ...did I miss any?? steveg@umd5.umd.edu -The Master Multitasker Sorry guys lost control there!
