	I believe  someone mentioned  recently that  they purchased the
	Spectrum  512 program?   Could this same  person please comment
	on whether  there is  any appreciable  slowing of  the machine?
	I've played with DEGAS Elite somewhat, and even that's a little
	slow at times.  If Spectrum indeed has most of DEGAS's features,
	as the ad claims, then is it also as slow, or slower?
