Oh great. Now NeXT's will be just like all the people who do xlock on
their Suns and have the fractal images drawing all over the place, driving
the load up. Admittidly, it would be neato, but how would you do it? To
store 5 minutes of video images would be a major pain to your disk -- You
could plug a vcr in -- or better yet, a video camara that is taking live
shots of a aquarium. Seems a bit ridculious to blow $4500 on NeXTdimention
just to do that though :).
