Dale,

Since you mentioned the issue of X speed, could you comment on the speed of the
Amiga X product on various models and configurations, and compared to
alternative X options such as DEC's VT1000 X terminal and the new VT1200
version they are showing at DECworld.

Some say the Amiga version is significantly faster and more memory efficient. 
If so, maybe you can comment on why, and the likely hood of it continuing to be
so.
