Don, I agree, speed increases by a factor 10-11 is awsome. I think most LW users have to take into consideration the fact that the only other alternative is to buy 10-11 A4000 Toaster systems. At around $6,000 a pop that comes to around a $60,000 investment and a lot of square footage in order to fit all of the Amigas. The Raptor solution is really the only option that makes sense. Even if Newtek puts out a version of the software which can access IBM PC/Intel based systems, one has to remember that they can access only a maximum of 8 processors. If someone is going to spend $2,000 on the ScreamerNet software, I think that it will be foolish to limit yourself to 8 PC boards and still be behind a MIPS machine. I can only speak for myself, and I am extremely pleased with the Raptor, and even though the ScreamerNet software is still a Beta version, it works perfectly. Although I have not tried Image Sequencing yet, I have pretty much thrown everything I could think of at it and it just HAULS BUTT! with NO PROBLEMS. With my PAR setup it is really something that has to be seen to be appreciated. Like a junkie I am starting to get used to the speed and am already craving for more (hint). Great job, thanks for your continued cooperation and keeping me informed throughout the waiting period, and let me know when in '96 the IPO is issued. Adib
