Nah....Alpha! My system cost about as much as 2 Pentiums and runs about
4 times as fast. And since I bought mine from NekoTech, I am able to
reliably clock it up to 300MHz (it screams :-) But a Pentium certainly
makes a good low cost alternative.
As for an upgrade path for Toaster owners, I really believe there should
be one. I know I am not alone in having bought Toasters only for LightWave.
Something like: give NewTek your Toaster and $150 and you get LW4 on the
platform of your choice. This certainly seems reasonable.
