I'm in the same boat, I have 3.5 but not the cash at the moment for 4.0- and
some more memory. As for the PC, it looks like some '060 card will be
shipping soon, so there might not be that much of a reason to essensually
start over, after all most people I hear going for the PC are doing it for
the Pentium and maybe ports of PhotoShop (I'd do it for TieFighter :) ).
By this time next week we should know who owns the Amiga (no bull: the
auction started yesterday and is ment to run a week), and things should be
in better shape as far as continued support- face it, the new owners would
have to try VERY hard to do wose than the old U.S. managment.
Anyways, if you have an AGA system, check out Photogenics, it looks like it
could PhotoShop for the rest of us, I played with a demo-disk from
AmigaFormat, it already has a new version out (1.1- more loaders, effects)
