>> I doubt the Amiga can beat out the Mac II fx...

Depends on what you're doing.  If you compare the amiga writing directly
to the screen memory vs. the mac going through quickdraw, the Amiga might
be a little faster (this comparison isn't totally ridiculous since this
is what happens in reality).  OTOH, for brute force computing the "FX" is
not a bad machine at all.  If it were twice as fast it would be almost
perfect for the Mac Environment (I can't imagine going back to a ci now).
I've only got a 20 Mhz 386, so I can't compare against a 486/33.  Maybe
next year.  The comparison will be difficult, even using windows, since
the machines are doing totally different things.
Of course, my fx is probably 20-30 times faster than my gs.
