A short question which you may not know the answer to, just to keep things interesting. I saw the presentation of the Amiga at the BCS the other day. There was IBM emulator software. The demonstrator had 2 machines going. One specifically to show off the emulator. He loaded the emulator, then booted a PCDOS disk, then fired up lotus. But then he switched to the other machine for the full blown amiga demos. Can you not run the emulator in one window and normal amiga stuff in other windows? Do you have to do a machine reset to get back to native amiga world? And finally does the emulation handle graphics (ibm graphics, not amiga) One comment: I was blown away by the demo. This looks like a very exciting machine - particularly when the price is mentioned. But I wonder, will the price still be great when it finally hits the stores? Anyway, thanks for the group and the of information. Looking forward to lots of good stuff here. -- Sid Shapiro -- Wang Institute of Graduate Studies [apollo, bbncca, ucadmus, decvax, linus, masscomp]!wanginst!ss ss%wang-inst@Csnet-Relay.ARPA (617)649-9731
