A few months back i tried to wake up a discussion on this subject. It
died fast - wonder why?

I work for a company which is the agent for professional products for
the Amiga. We hear customers complaining about the inferiority vs the
MAC and PC and so on ad nauseam. The sad thing is that no significant
development will be done until such a standard is presented period!

As many of the good programs for Amiga is heavily resource bound for
performance, almost all of them would take a leap forward if redressed
in a 24-bit cloak...

C'mon folk, let's get some views in here!
