- [It = DMI Vivid 24]
-
- The claim was that it's faster than a $200K SGI system,
- which includes $100K Reality Engines (and probably some of the
- new True Floating Point computers SGI just announced), which is
- just a blatant lie. Even AmigaWorld printed this.
-
- Also, note the followup line -- advocacy is probably more
- appropriate for this discussion.
