Its pathetic and sad to see MAC and IBM commercials, it not see a single Amiga commercial this year. Another thing we have seen, well I have lately. That there is some good 24-bit color boards out for the Amiga, but only 3rd party stuff. I think there is DCTV, COLORBURST(My fav.) and HAM-E. CBM should try to bring alot of the stuff in the COLORBURST board into the Amiga custom chips! I think in the HAM-E board it gives you 256 colors by have 4-bitplane hi'rez screen, which in low'rez will give you 8-bitplanes. I think that 256 colors in low'rez should be introduced in all Amiga's! This for sure will help the Amiga in many area's. Mainly games and Dvideo stuff. Oh well buts that is the biggest markets on the Amiga anyhow! But YES I do like the Amiga, and I will keep it untill or whenever it dies. Personally I doubt it will die, not untill the new COMPUTER technology comes out... Like the PHOTONIC microprocessors, and thats when all the standard cpus will die! Like everything nothing lasts forever..heh l8'er! A.t.
