How much interested would there be in software only 30 frames per second
video playback software for the NeXT?  Anybody with comments please send them
to me at Peter_Roosen@mindlink.bc.ca.  Thanx.

Full size 640 X 480 frames, at 30 frames a second?  Can it be done?  My  
understanding is that you can achieve roughly 1/16 of that-- in terms of bytes  
transfered per second of time.

Anything smaller than 640 X 480 (which is only barely acceptable for some  
minor-league publishing purposes), and I lose interest.

Anything slower than 8 frames a second, and I lose interest.

	What does publishing have to do with video?  VHS has about 260 X 480
resolution.  If you could do 320x200 at > 15 frames/sec I would be VERY
interested.
