	   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.

Yes, I think you can do 15fps+ on the NeXTstation color -- not the
entire screen of course -- have a million pixels there.  I'll look
into it.  Better yet, why don't you post to comp.sys.next asking about
the animation capabilites of the NeXTstation color?
