     So here's the dilemma...
 
         Ham-E with hardware and paint software runs $300
         Add a DigiFX (sp?) encoder to go to video     99
                                        Price        $399
 
         DCTV (apparently encoder is built in)       $399
 
So, similar programs, similar price range.  I have seen output from both.  
They both look great.  I saw the paint software for DCTV, but didn't get to
try it.  I had 5 minutes to use the paint software for Ham-E, liked it (but
what can you really tell in 5 minutes?).
 
I need something like this for commercial work, particularly logos.  About
60% of what I do is still graphics, about 40% is animated graphics.
 
Any and all impressions/suggestions regarding which might be better would be
sincerely appreciated.  My budget is too stretched to be able to purchase bot
or to make a mistake and get the wrong one.  I'm sure there must be a LOT of
other people out there trying to decide.  (The Toaster and Firecracker boards
are beyond my budget right now.)
