has anyone used the propeller chip?

[defzonoc]

i saw this funny little micro called the propeller it has 8 core design built in video generators for vga ntsc and pal.
im just curious if anyone here has used one or have seen it.
the parralax forums think its the best micro ever. some of them have output genisis level graphics from the little booger.
i just like to hear some non biased opinions.

I heard about it sometimes. That machine (the Hydra) seems pretty powerfull

Propeller, eh?

I've heard that Benheck used those as the main CPU for his Billy Paxton pinball machine.

Looks neat, and from what i've heard, they're not that difficult to program.

Here's what you can do with the propeller chip if you happen to be really good at programming: capped.tv/playeralt.php?vid=lft-turbulence
