Whoe, hold on their TeX... George Lucas, and Lucasfilms (or LucasArts Enterainment LTD) has nothing to do with PIXAR now. PIXAR was the Computer Graphics Divison of Lucasfilms before they broke off to form thier own company. If you wish to be accurate here, George Lucas' venture into computer graphics is ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) and from what I hear, are doing just fine. I openly welcome Lucasfilms Games and other divisons to work on CD-I and other Amiga projects. Their one company that respect my CPU and don't feel they must force me to change my system configuration in order to simply run a game. > Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us -- __ Brett Bourbin \ / /(_ /\/ 11440 Commerce Park Drive ..!uunet!visix!brett \/ / __)/ /\ Reston, Virginia 22091 brett@visix.com Software Inc (703) 758-2733
