Nah, TT owners are hating life enough as it is, they don't need our help. I too, am impressed with the number of newsgroups that are supporting this machine - guess that says something -eh? "Amiga killing NeXT"? ;-) Kill my Amiga 2000 (please!): Have some numbers: 68040,53c710,68230,85230 (and that's just on the CPU CoProc board). Throw in AmigaDOS 2.0 just for fun (with the cache control functions patched for a certain CPU). I'm waiting for my PP&S Rembrandt board (32bit (24bit dual Framebuffer/capture w/ 8bit overlay) 34020/082) just to output my renderings on... though I could run XWindows just on the board while still using my Amiga to run a few programs just to keep it busy. Of course, you could probably do the same thing with enough money on your NeXT, but I'd prefer the Countach... ;-) Besides, whenever Commodore gives us U*ix for A2500's and 3rd party CPU boards, then we'll have just one more OS to toy with... >-Mike -- +------+ William J.
