Well, this is getting of the topic of multimedia, but I don't believe this is true. I know there are mod creator programs for PCs, for example. >The Toaster your dealer mentioned was much more expensive than I have >ever seen(maybe he was talking about some sort of standalone system w/Amiga) Well, according to an Amiga rag I picked up, the mail order price for a toaster is $2100. THe dealers price was a litle higher, but then, he's a dealer, not a mail order house. >From what i've seen, the Amiga's animation is much faster and >less-jagged than the Mac and IBM.... The Mac just seems to be too jerky >and unstable. This I agree with you though. I noticed that too, in comparing the two systems in the same day. It wasn't a true side-by-side A/B comparison, but the difference in speed & smoothness was pretty noticable. Still though, one has to be wary of demos of this sort - they can be made to show anything that you want to show. /M
