Well, I don't know if there are any upgrades, but I have seen some worthwhile programs created with it. The Indianapolis Zoo used it to create a "map" of the zoo. The implimented a touch screen, so all one has to do, it touch the animal, and description of the animal (a digitized voice sample) and where it is located in the zoo is given. They also have a digitized file of the animals sound. I'm not sure if they have implimented it yet at the zoo. I saw only a small demo of it. It did look promising. I am currently working on a program that will interface with a database of a user groups PD disks. They will be able to search it by usinga touch screen or the mouse. (OK.. maybe that isn't worth while, but I had to brag ) Other than that, I'm in the dark. I do know that GEnie now has an entire section dedicated to AmigaVision files only.
