I'm not much help, I Rcvd 1 but it was 'Bad from the Box' and sent it
back. I know of 1 user who actually has 1 and he's tickled.
Me ?? I'm Ticked, 'cause to the best I can determine, AURA's are next
to immpossible to find.

Reviews ?? I can't remember which, but 1 of the British Mags had a
review as well as the old Amiga World (I think)

If You are ANYONE knows if Hi-Soft is producing the AURA again I
would surely like to know.

Last I heard, Apprx 4 months ago, Hi-Soft was going to release a
NTSC version.
Then about that same time frame, I heard Hi-Soft was having a parts
shortage. I can't confirm via Hi-Soft or the US Dist. Oregon Research
any of the above. But I did try via questions to both via E-Mail.

What I do know, After returning my bad 1 to Software Hut, I waited 4
months for a new 1, and then decided enuf was enuf and got a refund.

Does it sound like I want 1 ??? You bet !!

Blake
