yea thats the whole argument..that I cant run a simple
2d demo (scroller, music etc) without having a adverse
impact on using linux.  I mean I'm a Amiga user/fan
and the moderator of the Amiga website but by no means
am I blinded and think Amiga is the only system that
can do this.

I didnt have time to look for any demos on the web but
will do so today.. lookin forward to it actually.
