	I suppose your right, maybe I should have said "...as if I were 
watching a 3-4 year old 386/486 demo". It's been so long since I've seen
any _quality_ graphics, animation or music on a IIgs, it's easy to get somwhat
carried away! ;-) In a way, the IIgs is sort of following in the path of the 
IBM, yet trailing a couple of years distance behind. We're only now getting 
Wolfenstein 3-D, a 24-bit color board, Fax software, etc. :)
