Give me a break...It really only depends on how the program is written. The machine is fast enough for ANY arcade game...you may quote me. I am now using a se/30 with 4 megs and 80meg drive...Now a SE seems like a DOG, but I didnt know that till I had the se/30. I dont cry and moan when I use my old 512k 400k drives Mac, nor my old apple II+. Even a Mac II seems to be a bit sluggish. My 286 clone is a real dog, until I get on an original PC. Go with the flow. Maybe a Cray II would suit your needs? Every computer has its good points, and its bad points. When you start to get at the point where its not any fun...Its time to quit. Sure its fun to get pissed off and blow a little steam, but I can think of a better way to spend my time listening to everyone bitch about the GS. Scott Hutinger mser001@ecncdc.bitnet
