Well, by my being so fanatically dedicated to the Amiga, I, and the others, have had the influence on there being products that are here today. The influence was made by taking the risk of trying different things. I know other platforms can do alot too, but multi-tasking had a huge impact on me when I decided to get my first Amiga. The other platforms have variations of multi-tasking now, but I still believe the Amiga (on the personal computing side) handles it the best, since its had the longest experience with it. I haven't used AutoDesk 3D, but have heard it has some great features. I think it might be slower in some respects, because we sometimes forget that PC's have no chip sets like the Amiga, to take much of the demands off of the main processor. That's why speed comparisons are apples to oranges. I, personally, wouldn't use AutoDesk 3D with anything less than a 33mhz 486. Personally, when I first started with computers, I lusted long and hard after IBM clones, then was impressed with the fresh approach of Apple, but still didn't feel things were going are far as I had hoped for. Then the Amiga 1000 came out, and left the others in the dust with the Juggler demo pooh-poohing the PC and Apple cheapy graphics. With the A4000 and A1200 out now, I had that same feeling all over again. I don't really begrudge anyone using other systems, I just want to do what I can to push the envelope of the system I use. Things will always improve because of the strong competition. Vive la difference! *8> Vance
