    I want to thank everybody for all their great suggestions.  This one 
seems like the best idea.
    However, I did not know that Impulse had ported Imagine to the Timex 
Sinclair and the Atari 800.
    I know they are planning Imagine as a cross-platform program but this 
sure seems like a good step to cover all areas.  I would suggest porting 
over to the TRS-80 and the VIC-20 to stay ahead of the competition.
    Now, Impulse (I know you can hear me because you are omniscient and you 
are listening to my innermost thoughts), I have heard that you are working 
on a Precognitive Ray Tracer which will allow the user to just Imagine 
(notice the clever wordplay here) a scene and it will be recorded to 
videotape.  How long are we going to have to wait for this one?  Don't you 
know that we Imagine users are very busy and we cannot wait forever for 
these features?  Also, why do you impose such a limitation on the PRT such 
as recording Imaginations to videotape?  The PRT should record directly to 
Compact Disk-ROM as this is the wave of the future.  And I hope you do not 
release the PRT with some bug like recording somebody else's Imaginations!!! 
That would not be pleasant.
