Honest opinions? are there such things? I'll do my best, ;-) We are a Beta test sight for AmigaVision. Unfortunately, since the software has not been realeased, I cannot (at least should not), give too many details about the product. I have only used it for about 5 hrs so far cummulatively, and here are my impressions: KOWABANGA! It is more revolutionary than hypercard was 4 years ago. The executable I have weighs in over 620K, and this doesn't include the plentiful help files. You will need 3 MB RAM to do any significant work with it. If I get requests for more info, I'll answer a few questions, otherwise there is simply too much to write. Seriously, the Amiga will be a serious force in the computer world a year from now. After attending the Montreal launching of the A3000 on thursday, I will probably rave some more about what C= is doing. ******************************************************************************* * Stefan Buchholz * stefan@concour.cs.concordia.ca * a.k.a Stefy LePew * * System Administrator of Concordia University's Hyper/Multimedia Laboratory * * Q: What's multimedia?
