Come to think of it, I probably did try that once. Those screens look awfully familiar!
The issue was speed: I initially only had an A2000HD with a "modified" CPU (a
MC68010L10). This was the Amiga equivalent of putting a coffee can muffler on
your lowered Civic. I think it was only 30% faster than an average Amiga, same
clock.
This made fractals or 3D rendering VERY VERY slow.

Sadly, yes. And on that machine, a 1MB Super Fat Agnus. If you thought Lego
fans were obscure (OMG! A 1987 Guarded Castle Inn with a Meal Serving Wench
MISB from Bavaria!) Amiga fans...whooeee.
Same as it ever was...
