What kind of things do you feel would impress (sort of) a student who >uses RS/6000's and Sun 4's in computer labs? The thing that realy impressed the couple of Mac II owners that I've showed my Amiga was the smoothness of graphics and sound. I think it was the Blood Money intro that I showed them. They just couldn't believe that I had smooth animation, digitized sounds, AND the game was loading at the same time. But, then again, it's hard to sell a machine on just games. There are so many other things that the Amiga is good it, and games is just one of them. Good luck getting the fair started. I wish I could get something like that here on this campus. -- Matt Ranney "There are a few occasions where you do t22918@ursa.calvin.edu need to use a 'GOTO'... but... well mranney@wybbs.mi.org you didn't just hear me say that." mranney@pogo.ai.mit.edu -Dr. Joel Adams
