The apple helicar anim displayed in the ad is an insult to the display
capabilities of the machine.  I have done 256 color animation of
arbitrary raster images over arbitrary backgrounds on the Mac II
series before.  There is no need for a "canned" animation of this
low quality to be used as an example of this machines capabilities.
The background was stark white.  Given a 256 color screen, from
a palette of 16 million colors, at 640X480 pixels, one can get
VERY detailed objects, and still save about 64 colors on thescreen
for color cycling animation effects.  That ad was pathetic.
