While Jerry was kidding, I was not. In retrospect I shouldn't have used the word "Right", as people could misinterpret that too easily. I meant it as "Correct". However, reading the rest of my paragraph should've cleared that up. As I said, "IN THE END" (meaning not now, but later :-) it's probable that future Rundgren/Toaster articles will have less and less reason to mention that an Amiga is at the core of the Mac-Toaster... especially as Rundgren is both a Mac graphics programmer and a Mac devotee. In other words, I assumed that all of us here knew that _each other_ knew that the Mac-Toaster had an Amiga core. AND that Rundgren loves Macs. regards - kevin
