LETS DROP ALL OF THE AMIGA:NEXT PENIS ENVY CRAP!

This is a channel for discussions of multimedia itself.  Discussions of 
platform comparisions are only appropriate if it involves limitations
placed on a proposed project.  Does anyone out there have some RELEVANT
questions/answers?  I'm pretty disgusted with this newsgroup so far.

By the way, arcTANgent;  Haven't you got any friends to play with?
Probably not if all you do is brag about your Amiga.

Now for a REAL question:

I've been doing some silly little animations in Macromind Director 2.0
(making more interesting startups for my hypermedia applications).  I
heard there's a new version out that may have enough power to do some-
thing really serious with it.  However, Apple just announced it's
QuickTime stuff as well and I can only budget for one of the packages.
Does anyone have some experiences with either (preferably both) of these?

Also, Digidesign is sending out notices of an upgrade to their Audiomedia
application.  Any idea whether the upgrade is worth getting?  I don't
use any external tape decks or synthesizers, so I don't think added
functions in those areas will be much use to me.


Thanks VERY much for any useful information.
