- I hope they work much better than they work now on gfx-cards. EGS, Cybergfx
- and RetinaEMU, they alle dislike some programs. (RetinaEMU does most of them,
- but cybergfx and EGS do too few, so there`s still a Amigamonitor needed.)

- What is the Amiga than ?
-
- Games ??? No, we have a VGA-only system .
-
- Sound ??? ahh.. 8 bit, since the A1000 ... too noisy.
-
- DTP,CAD ??? MSword, Autocad ..... the name of the standard ...
-
- Graphics ??? RTG -> no way. lots of WB-emulations, none of them perfect.
- MS-Windows runs in 24Bit without any probs or crashes.
-
-
- I really wonder, why anyone should buy such a machine priced twice over the PC.

- bye
