When you wrote "I was just wondering if many stdents ect. really need desktop
video.  Well, of course in this news group the percentage is large since
the amiga is well suited for cost-effective video work."

Tell you what, nothing impresses a prof more than a slick looking video that
you slapped together in about and hour.  Case in point, in m ROTC class, I had
to give a presentation, I selected the Slealth fighter as my topic (this just
just before it went real "public", I built a model, and also drew an amimation
where the fighter would come on screen, and then I would show some radar waves
bouncing off of it and where they went... I took it over to a friends amiga
and we put it to video tape (he had a rf modulator and a VCR), the whole set
up for what I did was $600 for my amiga 500 and memory $250 for the monitor
$150 for DPaint III, and then $50 for the modulator, and $200 for the VCR, 
oh and $5.00 for the video tape, and my presentation blew everyone away.

I little 35 frame animation can make all the differance...
