- Hmmm. No PC, yet you're using Lightwave. Hmmmm I say.

- I got it! You have an Amiga! That being the case, you don't need to buy a
- whole 'nuther computer. Just get an Amiga PAR. A used one should run a
- thousand bucks or less. A brand-new suitable drive can be had for $600 or
- less I think (DPS has a very specific list of drives you can use. Not all
- are good for video). There are other real-time playback solutions for the
- Amiga, but none are as cheap to obtain as a used PAR, and the quality is
- extremely good. Add a used TBC-IV on later, and you've got a capture system.
