- All the system compliant "utilities" work fine for me, and TVpaint is quite

- Cybergraphix..never installed it sucessfully(grabs too much space on my 1/4

- multiview truecolor pix? Unfair opinion, I may try to install it off the

- you get a PII, also does Cuseeme rather well, at least the NASA channels..

- -no regrets for PII- (despite poor support)
