Who will be supporting these 24bit boards for output to film and or high quality video- not everyone wants to own everything and I for one would like to know which service bureaus support Amiga 24bit (or are planning to ). These new boards aren't much good to someone who can only output to 1/2" Ntsc through a supergen. 2. Are there any print service boards that will support high quality color hardcopy from Amiga 24bit iff? These are questions I wonder about, the only reason people point to (dare I say the word?)Macs, is that it is relatively easy to find service bureau support. I do truly believe in the Amiga(obligatory admission of guilt) and think that if there are any service bureaus who also support this great machine, they deserve to have their offices flooded with jobs, only problem is I can't find any at all. Speak up this is a real problem. If every time you want output you must emulate another "inferior platform" then before we brag about what we can do on our Amigas(that no one without one can see)we should pause to reflect on the rest of the world. ok I know its a little heavy handed but I realy want to use my Amiga to make prints and films and thought a tirade would get some attention WHO KNOWS OF ANY SERVICE BUREAUS WHICH SUPPORT AMIGA?????
