Considering the sizes of frame stores, and animations, I concur.

Well, the big boys use big (read expensive) guns like a superfast ethernet
lan through a Novell network. I prefer using an external SCSI removable
media box like Bernoulli, or SyQuest, and move from system to system.

Well, like walking, and talking, they take it for granted that if you are
professional, you use the tools of the professional. I use the next best
arrangement with an external transportable removable media drive, that I
can unplug from my Amiga, and plugin to a Mac, or IBM SCSI port, and I'm
off and running at speeds faster than an ethernet lan is capable.

Try getting a Bernoulli drive (150MB) or a SyQuest (270MB) transportable
and just take it from external SCSI port to the other machines external
SCSI port, and you're in business. Cheap, and very effective, IMHO.
