I recommend AVideo to anyone that is considering using their Amiga for
desktop video applications. The editor is making a concerted effort to have
regular amiga coverage. This month's issue has an article on TV Text,
written by a good friend and video cohort, with screen dumps by your's
truly. I was surprised to see how well printouts from a Xerox 4020 hold up 
in publication. 

It's good to see a trade journal that doesn't suffer from "tunnel vision",
i.e. it doesn't cost $10,000 so it can't be any good. In addition, they
published one of best comparisions of video capabilities between the MacII
and the Amiga that I have seen. 

Besides the computer graphics coverage, there are good "how to" articles on
various aspects of video, including some attempt to explain technical issues
in terms that non-professionals can understand. 

It has been some time in coming, but the amiga is finally getting respect in
video field.
