It appears that I have called your bluff. You have not given me any information about these "enhancements" and my statement still stands as is. The Mac IIfx is slower than an Amiga 2000 with a GVP Series II accelerator card and the Mac is more expensive. This statement stands. I am very confused about why one would buy a Mac IIfx in the first place. A Sun Sparc is very close in price and orders of magnitude more powerful. I suppose, Apple has a religious following of people that are sometimes blinded by the light. If I had the money, believe me, I would have a Sun Sparc or an HP 720 CRX not a Mac IIfx. As for this nonsense about the masters, I am not sure whether it is an ill conceived attempt at an insult or a ploy to divert attention from the issue at hand. Either way, my point is still valid. Tim
