Do you actually have a DCTV or are you just spouting off assumptions and rumors? I have seen the DCTV and I can tell you right now that the paint program is worth the cost of the box itself! It has a VERY intuitive user interface and more powerful tools than ANY Amiga paint package on the market at this time. It will do watercolor and actually run out of paint as you smear the brush around. This is one paint package that I only WISH the Toaster or Colorburst or Firecracker had! Some people should take notice of this package and see if they can create a similar full-featured paint package for thier boxes. BTW, anyone want to pickup a Ham-E for say $250? I'm ready to sell it and get the DCTV just because it has a far more powerful paint package (from and artists viewpoint). -- Bob The Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 "It's better than a sharp stick in the eye!" ============================================================================ InterNet: bobl@graphics.rent.com | Raven Enterprises UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!graphics!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue BitNet: bobl%graphics.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 Home #: 908/560-7353 | 908/271-8878
