- You are comparing apples and pears here. I'v just bought a CyberVision
- CV64 card. (which also comes with Cybergraphics) and there indeed was
- a nice 24bit paint program (Photogenics lite) bundled. Granted, no
- screenblankers or games. But EGS had to, as normal screenblankers
- would not work. And games... There's only one bundled. I oughta know,
- I've had a Piccolo EGS card for years. Which came with ArtEffect. As
- Spectrapaint was a GVP product, not an EGS one. And would not work
- on any EGS board other than a GVP one. So EGS in it's standalone
- version didn't come bundled with SpectraPaint.
-
- One major point. EGS seems to have died with GVP. CyberGraphics is
- still alive and thriving...
-
- And my Piccolo now only runs EGS when I need EGS-TV or ArtEffect.
- For the rest it runs CyberGraphics as well...
