Probably the best platform to develop a multimedia production would be an Amiga. The Amiga was built since day 1 to be the perfect machine to combine video, sound, and interaction between system and user. Multitasking also helps too..:) Check out a back issue of Byte magazine from last year. They had a big thing on Multimedia, whetre they reviewed the state of multimedia on both the Mac, PC and Amiga platforms. They overwhelmingly agreed that the Amiga was the best development platform. Its cost effective, relatively cheap, and gives high-impact results with comparatively little work when compared to Mac and PC multimedia. If you want my person opinion on Microsoft's so-called "standard" for Multimedia.. ..Its pretty much a joke to me.. just another attempt by Bill Gates to oink-oink his way into a new area to make money. His proposed MS-DOS based Multimedia platform is something the Amiga can, and has already been doing for years now.. He considers it something that will be done in the near future, but in actuallity, its being done now, on the Amiga. Later, Arc

It appears to be designed for use in multimedia. Has anyone any experience with it in this field? Thanks, RJG.
