About compression on the NeXT. I've recieved 25 letters so far, 24 expressing a need for compression, and a will to purchase the daughterboard if made available. Of note: One respondent (who asked to remain anonymous) said that compression is in the works at NeXT, but the ND software gurus are currently busy with 3.0 and other related stuff. When things clear up, they'll finish up with the compression. Another respondent said that NeXT told him that compression is in the works, and it will be available whether it be MPEG or JPEG. What I would like to do then, is to mail a copy of the letters I've recieved to NeXT to confirm that we indeed feel that compression is crucial. If you have sent me mail, and intend to remain anonymous (as some have) and haven't told me so, then please let me know, and I will not forward your letter to NeXT. Thanks for responding... - darcy -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- "You fill in the mortar, I build the wall."
