Lines: 26 Yeah reading some of these messages about the Amiga's future, makes me wonder sometimes. All I can say is CBM better put 24-bit graphics inside SUPER DUPER DENISE!..heh I mean its abit overdued! When the A3000 was released it should of had atleast 256colors at low'rez. Something similar to VGA atleast! I was reading BYTE the other day and they were talking about 24-bit paint programs. They talked about IBM and MAC software. They mentioned the Amiga in a column. They stated that the Amiga is the fastest with graphics, but it lacks 24-bit support. All it has is 3-rd party stuff, which hardly that existant in the Amiga market. They said CBM should do something like incorporate 24-bit graphics right into the CUSTOM chip set. I would be willing to upgrade my chips to get 24-bit graphics. For around $200-300!! Maybe have a faster blitter or something and of course be backwards compatible.... or just have new modes!!etc... Its all up to CBM!!! I thought they should of add some of that stuff to the CDTV, of course the price might be too high then..hmmm Oh well they should do something. 3-rd party 24-bit cards just don't kick it! Its hard to get them... Haveing them in the custom chips there would be more support!! Cuz CBM is in charge of the Amiga's market, in away!! I want buy the CDTV or CDROM drive until I see some good software on it, that takes full advantage of the CD! Not some swift A500 port!! Oh well later all! A.t.
