Have you gone to your nearest magazine rack lately and looked throuth the
Video magazines?  Its Amiga, Amiga, Amiga.  And in the new issue of Amiga
World its video, video, video.  I would think that before too much longer
in the area of video, that people will be asking if a system can use Amiga
files.

If I were a programer that wanted to program for Amiga, I'd look into 
cad/animation for engineers and architects.  So much of building design is
designing something that will SELL.  And not all designers can afford 20
thousand dollar Silicon Graphics workstations.  I've seen a builder b
bankrupted by one custom home because it wouldn't sell.  200 thousand
dollars is a lot of money to have to sit on.
