- There wasn't much he could do apart from telling us what might be possible
- and what could be done - not because the Falcon isn't able to handle it at the
- moment but simply because the software isn't available yet. That's hardly
- surprising however, considering the fact that the Falcon has just been
- released.
- Apart from that, when he was talking about image processing for instance,
- he mentioned the photo-CD - a medium which itself isn't available yet.
- The few demos they had showed real potential - a demo says more than
- 1000 words.
