'WinNT _has_ been ported to the PowerPC;….' My girlfriend just got her quarterly bundle of CDs from the MicroSoft developer program. Would I find it in there? If so, does this run on _any_ PowerPC, or does it have to be 'PREP-compliant'? I've been told that all Mac PowerPC's shipping right now are not 'Prep' compliant, so they won't configure properly for WinNT?!? As for immediate solutions: If Deskstation had not publicly reamed me in the NewTek forum a few months ago for questioning their claims of '60:1' speed improvement over a stock 4000, I might still consider buying their product. Earlyl on, at their prompting, I discussed my needs for a complete workstation solution with Deskstation before they released their original Raptor. I made it very clear that a 'black box' solution was not something I considered a fair and viable solution for high-end modeler/animators. (Given their recent upgrade/resale tactics, I see it was a very profitable one for them, though……) Anyway, they polished my knob until it was clear I was a no sale. At that point, I became 'persona non grata', subject to some of the most petty slander since the days of Dave Cinege! Beyond treating me like some kind of slime mold, they made it clear that they didn't think much of this 'little Amiga world' I 'lived in'. I saw them in operation at the VTU Expo, and it only reaffirmed my opinion of the company…… Anyway, now that I've vented my spleen. (sheepish grin) Thanks, Erik Flom
