- I think that it's good that this discussion is going on, for one,
- readers who are thinking of investing in one of the available morph
- packages would like to know the pros and cons of each package.
- (besides, everyone likes a good fight, [see US presidential debate] ;) )
-
- The past messages are getting a little off-topic, but thats in reaction
- to some of the statements (and misstatements) that have been 'flung'.
- If the messages would just stick to the REAL features of each program
- instead of the 'frills', all would benefit. I guess there is a fine
- line between 'frill' and 'necessary', so from now on if a feature is
- listed, I think they (PK & BW) should explain why they feel it was
- necessary to include in the package.
-
- I think that this does belong in .advocacy, but also here, where
- the people who use Amiga graphics on a day-to-day basis read.
- (Those with Net access, that is...)
