[comp.sys.amiga] '030 vs. '000 worth it? TurbSilver

This is a reply to iwscoop@bigsur.uucp, whom I could not email directly. 
Yes, without a doubt, I feel the '030 is worth the extra money.  Its 
presence is felt in every application that is run.  I would be loathe to 
give it up after having used it for these months.  Oh, and if you do anim 
in TS, it is a REAL blessing.  I rendered a 65 frame anim of a rotating 
IFF mapped globe (original, huh?) and it took about 9 hours.  Let's see, 
that is 108 hours by 68000 or 4.5 days by the stock Amy.  Now, tying up my 
Amy for overnight (sounds kinky) is fine, buy for nearly a work week...
forget it!  If you have infinite patience, you may want to wait for the 
'040 boards to come out and down in price.  Good Luck!

Not bad for an Amiga (68030), eh? It takes God 24 hours to do it.
