But now we're not talking about a home user any more. A frame addressible VCR is in the same price range as the Toaster and Amiga. You could get set up for $6000 total. > Any computer with a 680X0 in it is a real computer!! To hell with the hardware, it's the software that makes it real. All my computers are as real as they can be... even my Atari 800. Haven't had a PC compatible (even a 68000 based one) in this place for years. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
