- Interesting comment.
- I use an A4000/030/18/CyberVision, and to be perfectly honest I
- notice the CPU speed (or lack thereof) ONLY when working on 16/24bit
- graphical applications (such an ImageFX or Photogenics) which need to
- apply complex algorithms to very large amounts of data. Even MUI runs
- acceptably fast -- faster than the GUI of a 100mhz 486 running Win95
- does.

- Yes, the 030 is slow, but when you use an Amiga you don't have to
- deal with that sluggishness in general applications.
