	Re: VGA with 256 simultaneous out of 22K palette

The VGA is incredible, and it indicates that the Amiga is now behind
as a technology leader, especially since the new IBM PC/2 low-end system
is so cheap.  Still, though, the Amiga is a much faster machine, and
graphics operations are still much quicker; someone in comp.sys.ibm-pc
saw a PC/2 Model 20 (is that what it's called) drawing ellipses at
about 2 per second, much slower than the A1000.  We cannot say we
have the top-of-the-line video technology anymore, however; we still have
the better overall design, but emphasis on the word "overall."
