I hate to do this, because it could easily be misinterpreted and I am NOT
engaging in 'computer wars', but in the interests of consumer information
and making informed purchases, I've decided to take the risk.  Regarding
the Lumena system, if you are really interested in computer graphics and
comparing prices, you should be aware that the following system can be
put together new (with 8 megs RAM)...
       Amiga 2000, Bridgecard (to support MS/DOS), FlickerFixer (to
       eliminate interlace flicker), 68020 + 68881 math coprocessor to
       bump speed up to ca. 14 MHz, Deluxe Paint II, Deluxe PhotoLab,
       still digitizer, live digitizer and multisync monitor AND a
       whole bunch of excellent 3-d ray-tracing software packages would
       run under $8,000.  Graphics are 640x400 with 64 colors in extra
       halfbrite mode, 4096 colors in ham mode. For another $350 you 
       could throw in the cable and a fairly good CD player.  This
       system would support IBM software, Amiga software and is an
       multitasking workstation with mouse (FYI, I work with Macs/IBM/Amiga).
