Yes.

HAM doesnt work in HI-RES.

16 shades of a colour is too course.

Look at TV. Until we can duplicate the fancy screens and logos with
accurate colour representation and no artifacting, C= aint done.

And yes, I'd kill to get a copy of Adobe illustrator for the Amiga.
Right now it loks like the only way is to get a 2000 and run it
on the PC side. Sick.

This has to be my ``if there was ONE software package you would
like to see for the amiga'' winner. It's a very important piece of
software.

C'mon C=, convince Adobe to do it. There is no way in hell they
are gonna let go of that product.
