- 32-bit sound?! Man, one can hardly tell the difference between a 44khz 8-bit
- sample and a 44khz 16-bit sample, unless you've got a good pair of speakers

- 24-bit is fine, 32-bit with (24-bit colours, 8-bit alpla) is nice....

- In some points a bit *TOO* state-of-the-art I would say....

- >We could use more than 8 sprites too.

- Would be nice, 16 or 32 sprites.....

- and a new ham-feature. Not RGB HAM, but HSV-HAM....

-
- 3d accellerators, 8mb videocard, with 200mhz blitter(s).......

- And then I woke up again, and turned on my A1200 with 4mb fast.....
- Not too bad, even if it she's old......
