Sorry. This is years of anti-Mac and anti-IBM that got drilled into me by
all my Mac and IBM friends bashing the Amiga. I'm finally starting to get
over it -- I saw what someone could do in Photoshop 3 in 2 hours. Yes, I
have tried to rotate a brush in DPaint. Not a pretty sight (especially in
hires-non laced...) Actually, I'm thinking of getting an Emplant so I can
use Photoshop (and maybe that 586 emulator...)
Hopefully someone will take care of the Commodore's aquisition soon -- I'd
hate to have to switch to a different platform. I'm still a die-hard
Amiga fan...
