 Hi out there I have a question for all of you, maybe even someone at CBM?
 Anyway I was at the AMIGA'90 in Koln Germany about 10 days back and all I
 can say is WOW. There were a couple of really neat graphical application
 packages there. One thing that caught my eye was the 24 Bit-Graphics card
 from Xpert a german Firm from Moosfeld in Munchen. As far as I know its the
 only real 24-Bit graphics card as opposed to Framebuffer on the market for
 the Amiga at the moment. I heard somewhere that CBM were developing a 
 special Library to support 3 party graphic boards, and was wondering if
 they were going to be supporting the VISIONA 24-Bit card. 
 	For all you in Germany: Does anyone know why Xpert does not sell
 				its products over here?
 				The price for the VISIONA was from around
 				5000.- DM which makes it pretty competitive
 				compared to the boards on the MAC.
 				Any Idea where on can purchace such a board
 				in England?
 				Oh, yeah, and someone tell Xpert to advertise 
 				the rest of their impressive produkt list
 				which includes such things as Transputer boards
 				and a CACHE card for the Amiga 3000.
 				
 			
 All the best,
 		Niall.
