Ah, I see.  You mainly need the power to get renderings done.  I
understand that (a DEC Alpha 333MHz is on my wish-list).  But besides
just speed, the Amiga IS very useful.  I'm getting an 060 to make it even
more useful.

You are right that a bank of A2000s doesn't compare to a 300-MHz Alpha,
but if you need more than speed (and many of use just need speed (I could
use some more...) ), the Amiga is the way to go.

Just another $.02...
