I was at the 68040 porting camp before the intro, and talked with the two
students who were doing the port. When camp started, they did not have a
running system. By the time intro rolled around, it seemed to be running
very well. I was surprised at the speed they were able to complete the port.
The guy who was doing demos brought up some cool looking images, and even
did some animations. I asked him about getting this, and he said that it
would probably go for about $75.00... WOW! And that includes complete docs!
As soon as it's "official", I'm going to send away for it. Quite a deal!
