Leo, as I understand it you've talked to Don Sidoroff (who wrote Turbo
Silver.) Impulse and Don have parted ways, and Don seems to have lost his
taste for the Amiga. (Along with his free Amiga. Heh*) This probably means an
inexpensive VGA Ray Tracer for the IBM. Considering IBM's market saturation, a
cheap 3D animation system for them could spell trouble for us. If you've got
any pull with Don, pull him back into the fold!
On a further note to his topic, why would anyone want buy a Mac II when for a
similar price you could have a low-end Sun workstation?
(Insert a "to" where appropriate.)

I know which I would rather have. What you said seems like a sales pitch for the Sun to me :-) John Munsch "The problem with this college is that it's neglecting football for education."
