I have been hearing mention made of the new VT4000 coming out and the term 4000/040-25Mhz coming up when describing the new Amiga it is designed to work in. Being a PC-head (Heh! You go where the money is…), I am used to seeing any 25Mhz micro as middle-of-the-road as far as performance, which means DOG SLOW when used for processor-intensive stuff like rendering. Would someone please assure me that a 68040-25Mhz really IS fast enough when I'm used to considering a 80486-50Mhz as being just about 'comfortable'. There's only one cure for ignorance, and that's someone beating you over the head with facts. Any help (read "Amiga evangalizing") will help. Gordon Durnell
