	We are thinking of getting some DECstation 5000 PXG and/or PXG
Turbo machines.   I'm interested in hearing any positive/negative experiences
that folks may have had with them.

	I also have two specific questions:

	-- What sort of software is currently out there to take advantage 
	of the hardware?

	-- What are the advantages(besides speed) of getting a PXG with
	the optional Z buffer, vs. a PXG Turbo?

	Thanks in advance!
