-
- Buy the 3000. They're a far better bet.

- All these programs run fine with gfx cards, except DPaint. Use Personal Paint
- instead.
-
- ShapeShifter runs especially well (far better than a 1200, even with a Zorro
- II box, which cost heaps).

- >Does Breathless support gfx cards and gloom..
-
- Breathless does not support Gloom. :)
-
- Um, Gloom Deluxe runs under CyberGraphX, and Breathless does not as yet.
-
- If you can find a 3000 cheaply, *buy it*. If you don't want it, tell me and
- *I'll* buy it!
