No flames please - I like the Mac (I use one at work), but as an Amiga user
animation is one area the Mac really needs improvement in. The Atlanta Olympic
Committee (or whatever they call themselves) used Macs at first to try to
do their multimedia sales pitch for the Olympics but found them to be very
poor for the type of animation they desired. They switched to Amiga computers
and created a supurb show which played a big part in getting the summer
olympics to Atlanta. I believe that the new officers at Commodore have the
capability of guiding the Amiga to dominate Multimedia in the future similar
to the way the Mac dominates DTP now.
