B^). I'll pit the 3000's 0.9 I/O performance against any > 386 or 486 based system any day! This is exactly why I made my comment. I've never been terribly fond of the Amiga OS, but I would take a 68k processor box over the Intel crap any day, if I could run the same software on each. I truly think it would be worth picking up a used Amiga just to turn into a unix (NetBSD) box. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
