OK, OK.  Enough of this "lousy Amiga graphics" whining.  I think we have
heard enough complaints about the Amiga's state-of-the-art-circa-1985
graphics.  We all get the picture, even if it isn't a 24 bit one.  So,
how do you propose we remedy the situation.  Now is your chance.  I am 
asking for comments and suggestions on the possibilities for future 
advances in Amiga graphics.

So what do you want?  What kind of graphics resolution and capabilities
would make the Amiga community happy?  At what price?  (Be realistic 
here.)  How would you handle bringing up windows (and screens?!) on a
frame buffer?  How would you do all those nifty animations on a deep
pixel frame buffer?  Why would you buy a frame buffer IF the Toaster 
ever comes out?  Whew!  Well, that ought to get the ball rolling anyway.
 
So, send me E-Mail with your thoughts, observations, musings, wishes, 
and whines.  

ENORMOUS DISCLAIMER!
This is just FMI (For My Information) and not anything from Truevision,
so don't leap to any conclusions.  I have a deep interest in computer 
graphics and video.  This is why I bought an Amiga and why I work at 
Truevision.  I repeat, this is *NOT* a survey from Truevision, but just 
an effort to satisfy my own curiosity and to help promote computer 
graphics and video.
