Sorry. I must have missed it at the time. :-)

By the way, can you digest everything there into 1,000 words or less?

You did youre homework well didn't ye....

In my sight of view i wish they continue to
develop high multitasking performance. For
the 200 diffenrent instructions it can always
been higher.

It is a nice feeling my amiga runs dynamicly
and I have the same expectations from the PPC
knowledge = power, but insight = immortality
