Hello,
	I'm doing my senior project in computer engineering, and all it 
is is a multimedia display system for a museum. I have a CD32, so my 
suggestion was to grab one and use Scala or something to do the stuff. 
Anyway, since Amigas are so poorly represented nowadays, we've gone with 
Astound on a 133MHz PC. Ouch! I can't believe how piss poor it is. You 
can't smoothly animate _anything_ (no, not even text), and half of the 
transitions just don't happen at all, like they're too difficult or 
something.
	I could do better than this with shareware on any Amiga, but 
noooo. Anyway, is Scala for PC anywhere near release? I've got to do 
something else with this thing.

Thanks,
