I haven't got an RTG card.  Yet.  Basically money is my biggest issue, especially as The NZ dollar doesn't translate to US$ or Euro very well.  And it's a long way to ship things.

My system is in my tagline, but also has a 4xEIDE interface with CD and Zip Drives.  I need to get a tower and a mediator first, and probably a better accelerator.  I'll get there eventually.

As to RTG-only software, obviously I'd prefer if there was non-RTG support.  But I certainly don't expect the rest of the Amiga community to wait for me to catch up.

Mind you, take a program like, say, Genetic Species.  It runs quite respectably on my system, but makes me very aware just how awesome it would be if only I had an RTG card.

So non-RTG support for good software might encourage people like me to sell any unnecessary body organs and get me a Voodoo 1200.
