   You're right, my sentence should have been something like 'the reason
   this happens is..' As far as the rest of your article, I never talked
   about those other bugs but they sure are here :-{   What about the
   ColorFonts utility, screws up mclk in the top of your window, their file
   requester is like [insert] for sure, I get df0: df1: vd0: rad: but no
   dh1/4 and since I've everything on harddrive I have to type everything
   by hand.
 
   The .anim thing, I've used that ONCE when I got DP3, looks nice but not
   very handy in your paint program IMHO, there are lots of other programs
   doing better stuff with less memory (chip) than this. One other thing
   that hit me was the heavy use of chip memory, when you don't have the
   1Mb Agnus you're lost in a lot of situations.
 
   Besides the bugs, its nice to work with EHB in DP3, sorry for being to
   positive on DP3, I guess I'm to much used to the behavior of certain
   Amiga programs ;-)
