- Hmm..is this the same QuickTime I've been using? I realize there's now a 1.5
- version, but it would have to be a lot faster to be of any use in
- presentations. There's a difficulty with multimedia. The Amiga is probably
- the better hardware platform, but the Mac has a lot more software unrelated
- to multimedia which one might want to encorporate into presentations...

- Hey, wait a minute. Are you referring to the MacWeek article? I'd hardly
- call that an announcement. On the other hand if Apple has officially
- announced something then I'm sorry. A colour Classic would be a nice computer,
- as are the A1200/4000/....It's a good time to be looking at computers.
