  Here's a "nice" question for you ST people.  It's about the blitter, of
course.  I know you guys can "hack" and put a blitter in the 520/1040, and that
the MEGA, STe(?), and TT(?) come with one.  But what are the blit sizes for
those blitters?  Our "old" blitters are 1Kx1K and the new ones (which started
beginnish of last year) are 32Kx32K blit sizes...  I hope SOMEONE CAN ANSWER
THIS!  OH, ONE MORE important question.  A programmer friend of mine told me
that ST's OS (1.4 in the 520/1040?) is/was CP/M with a GEM overlay?  Is that
true?  And, if you DON'T know what the heck you're talking about, PLEASE DON'T
REPLY, I'm sick of stupid people.
