It looks like WordPerfect Corp is not the only big player in the Amiga market
any more; I just got this in the mail.  The address label clearly came from
a mailing list, but I have no idea which mailing list it was.  The letter and
the envelope both have a little picture of our favorite mouse on it, and there
are a lot of small details that make me think it's not a joke.

Developed by Silent Software for the Amiga, Disney's ...The Animation Studio

techniques based on feature film animation.  Features include onion skin

My only comment is that if they used their software to generate the picture of
Mickey, it still needs improvement -- Mickey has a bad case of the jaggies.
