	You mention Targa boards for the IBM. Why not use Targa for
the Amiga? How 'bout an Amiga frame buffer. That does sort of kill
animation, but then so does Targa/VGA on the IBM. Using ImageLink w/
Targa and ScanLab, what better graphics do you want from a Micro? And,
finally, I don't think multitasking is a negligible issue.
	Despite my faith in the Amiga, I have to admit that 32-bit
quickdraw is some feat!
