  All this whining about the Amiga not having enough 
colors and res (I do it too) got me thinking... What is
it that the Amiga community is really lacking?   Now I
do know there are quite a bit of talented folks out there
but the Amiga's graphics is lacking something else other
than ultra (1280X1024X24) graphics, it's it's human resources!
We don't have enough graphics artists on the Amiga.  
Just the other day a friend of mine told me Jim Sachs 
and Joe Conti were looking for some people to help
them out in some Amiga graphics project and couldn't
find any real artists.  They eventually found some
high school kid who could draw on Amy during a high school demo.
This same thing happened to Compu-Animate in Arizona.  I hear
some church organization wanted a 30 minute animation and
Compu-Animate found a local highschool kid who knows his way
with DPaintIII.   Pretty amazing, huh?
