Victor, 
I agree wholeheartedly!!
What about a CD of effects for the Amiga!!?
And all the PC effects, could, I am sure, be done on an Amiga.
I mean, Lightwave/Toaster does Z axis effects, if you're
doubting the POSSIBILITY they can be done on an Amiga.  Not
only did I not know the pee cees were capable of such
multimedia prowess as in PC100, but they certainly cannot do it
as easily as the Amiga.  I mean, simple things like dragging
down a screen, are things that are MUCH too fast for the PC to
do ever!

What happened to Amiga development!!??
Hopefully Scala are currently working on PPC development for
the PowerAmi.  We can only hope.
