- Well, this is getting of the topic of multimedia, but I don't believe

- Well, according to an Amiga rag I picked up, the mail order price for a
- toaster is $2100. THe dealers price was a litle higher, but then,
- he's a dealer, not a mail order house.

- This I agree with you though. I noticed that too, in comparing the
- two systems in the same day. It wasn't a true side-by-side A/B
- comparison, but the difference in speed & smoothness was pretty
- noticable. Still though, one has to be wary of demos of this sort -
- they can be made to show anything that you want to show.
