Summary: Amiga executes an infinite loop in ten hours.  Film at eleven.

* REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR INEWS FILLER *

	Earlier this afternoon, I started up my latest animation, checking
to see if some disks I made wrote correctly.  I then let the machine alone
for about ten hours, running the animation using ShowANIM 3.30.

	I just returned to my room after watching Dr. Who (I still don't
like Colin Baker), and the animation was still running.  I stared at it for
a while.  Suddenly, the screen returned to the boot CLI screen, the ShowANIM
program reported, "done...", and gave the prompt back.

	Now, I knew a Cray 2 could execute an infinite loop in 30 seconds,
but can an Amiga do it in ten hours?  The implications are staggering!
