OK so it's overkill, but I do a lot of image processing of hi-res pics and
some multi-image montarge print-outs with them, so I need speed and mem. plus
I've just cashed in a dead pension. and It's my last chance to buy a new
system short of wining the lottery. and I heard the other day that you are
severn times more likely to be hit by an astroid form space than win the
jackpot tonight.

That's what I thought, sounds good.

Yes I'm told that the main code is little changed from the Amiga original I
use PhotogenX a lot I would be lost without it! and Gimp looks interesting.
