- There was some discussion recently in the multimedia newsgroup about
- whether to get a Mac or an Amiga for doing multimedia. One of the
- prime requirements was full-screen 30 fps animations. I and several
- others recommended the Amiga, and the person involved did wind up
- buying an Amiga 3000, DCTV, adn Caligari. Now he is having trouble
- getting full-speed animation out of it.
-
- Since I am not versed in either Caligari or DCTV, I hope that some
- of you will take the time to EMAIL this person and see if you can
- help him out. Please respond to him directly be email, as he does
- not read any Amiga groups at present.
-
- Thanks!
