- Victor,
- I agree wholeheartedly!!
- What about a CD of effects for the Amiga!!?
- And all the PC effects, could, I am sure, be done on an Amiga.
- I mean, Lightwave/Toaster does Z axis effects, if you're
- doubting the POSSIBILITY they can be done on an Amiga. Not
- only did I not know the pee cees were capable of such
- multimedia prowess as in PC100, but they certainly cannot do it
- as easily as the Amiga. I mean, simple things like dragging
- down a screen, are things that are MUCH too fast for the PC to
- do ever!
-
- What happened to Amiga development!!??
- Hopefully Scala are currently working on PPC development for
- the PowerAmi. We can only hope.
