- I just ordered your package and look forward to it. I use ADPro at work
- and have ImageMaster for my personal use, but both packages suffer from
- horrible interfaces and missing features. Speaking of upgrades, I paid
- for the upgrade plan from Black Belt and just received one, but they sent
- me a HAME version! Grrrr.

- Great! I've had an A4000 for a couple of months now and have been very
- disappointed by the lack of AGA software. I understand that there are
- also some painting tools in ImageFX and I am eager to use them.

- Sounds great. ADPro is such a memory hog that multitasking is really not
- much fun unless you have lots of memory. I've got 10M in my machine at
- work and that is really not enough for really large images.
-
- BTW, I purchased GigaMem for my A4000, only to find out that the damn
- thing does not work on the 040! What a waste of money.

- >Again, check it out at your local dealer! (advert out!)
-
- I wish I could. There just aren't many Commodore dealers left in this
- part of the country, and those that are still around are a bit pathetic.
- I'm buying ImageFX on the word of people on both the news and irc, but
- I expect I'll be pleased with it.
