Uh, lessee. 6502 proc - same as Apple - same as Fr-nkl-n? Heh, heh. __Ectually, I DID see a very neat animation running (on all things) on a Commodore Amiga 500. FOUR separate (and different) animations running in four separate windows - with a SEPARATE sound track for EACH animation. On a machine that only costs a lousy 1000 bux with a colormonitor. Sheesh! __It was VERY impressive, to this kind of thing done on a machine that costs about what a half-decent hi-fi rig costs. __I was tempted, but am not about to get caught up in one of those "little corners" of computing - probably watching the guy go belly up two weeks before the thing dies on me. __I regularly meet with some friends (this USED to be an Atari/ST group), and ONLY the real die-hards haven't switched over to DOS. __EVERYONE is just plain gun-shy of being orphaned, and ya can't blame them.

Msg 41950 is 25 line(s) on 06/14/89 from CHARLIE KESTNER to WARD CHRISTNNSEN re: R/NEW SYSTEM Jeez - ya bingoed the 386 on the first try, I can't even make ya guess anymore. Tentatively - 20mhz, 4M, 800x600 VGA (prolly Paradise 16 bit card & Mitsu Diamond Scan screen), and I'm tending to the Perstor controller card with a Seagate 4096 (with it's twin to be added within 6 months). Yep. A ton of bucks, but if I go the low road, I figure I can bring it in ~4 bills (okay - 4 1/2!). Gotta figure I'll need to toss in an 80387, so kiss off aother 400 or so. Damn-dest thing. I was up at the Computer Central flea market in early Spring. Spotted a copy of FastCad (STILL in original shrink wrapper!) for $ 150. Heck, this thing "streets" out about 1500 - about as sophisticated as AutoCad, but faster. STILL had the registration card in it! Called 'em up, asked how much to upgrade to latest version; got told to send in the card and thirty-five bucks! Week later, latest version arrives - and - they sent it to me as a "courtesy", returning my check un-cashed! Heh, heh. Anywho, you can see the direction I'm wanting to go, CAD and all (fits in good with my line of work); so a high-HP graphics machine is just what the doctor ordered. Just keeping all things crossed right now, 'cuz the LAST words I want to hear are ".no settlement, we're on strike." Otherwise, by Labor Day I'm afraid the trusty old CP/M box will be relegated to duty as a super-intelligent print buffer.
