Okay, but remember the point is that there is no way that you can get
260K colors on the screen at one time.  I was just nitpicking because
people were so hung up on these easy things that they are thinking about
the real issues.

So you work for commodore.  Can you tell me is the 3000 going to do 
anything to fix the real problem of the Amiga -- the limits on the 
CHIP RAM?  Say making it 32 bit wide and about twice as fast would go
a longs ways towards making the Amiga really fast.
