- I asked at the Pixar booth at SIGGRAPH about this. They
- told me that an Amiga port was a spare time project there
- because they didn't have any funding for it. The guy I
- talked to seemed pretty confident it'd get done
- eventually, but it wasn't a very high priority item.
-
- He also told the guy in front of me that a port usually took
- about 30 days when they really worked on it. Even a slight
- bump in priority should speed things along.
-
- Maybe your incentive will help push it a bit. I'll drop you
- some email.
