	Look, I like the NeXT too. I think there are some really
great ideas behind it, and I'd rather use one than a Mac or an
IBM. But PLEASE, are you SERIOUS? Your militancy should only go
just so far! You are going to animate a 12 bit-plane screen under
display postscript? You'd have to only animate a tiny portion of
the screen to get anything real.
	Also, when you say animate, most of the people in the
Amiga newsgroups are used to 15fps+ framerates.
