- I certainly hope so as well. In higher education, the digital
- video-ish tools that IBM is introducing (built into XGA/2, for
- example) and Apple is perfecting (QuickTime 1.5) are incredibly
- important for coursework development. NeXT needs some scheme to
- allow at least 300x200x256 at a reasonable rate over a network. The
- CPU power is there, it just needs a chip or 3 to do the
- compression/decompression.
- NeXT can throw a ton of high-quailty TIFFs up if you have the RAM,
- but if not everyone has a 32 MB color machine, it just won't work
- right. (I'm thinking of Movie.app)
