Wayne is espousing honesty, essentially, and I don't much agree w/ your proto-capitalist-yuppie justifications of these peoples public behavior.
Frankly, I'm more interested in the "best" than I am its name. Amiga, Mac, Sun or otherwise. You write well and make a cogent series of points. I applaud (clap clap) your nerve, for you must know by now that all the smiling natives really aren't that friendly.
You know, we all probably have pretty much the same goals probably. There's a difference in attitude, though. Frankly, I like supportive attitudes. There are times when something a bit negative is more appropriate. Very often negative attitudes are associated w/ money and business. You seem to be defending or…
Would someone please clear up an issue for me? Is Newtek a manufacturer of hardware or do they produce advertising?
WC- I like your attitude. Be careful, though, I actually received hate E-mail after I had the temerity to be critical on this forum.
Any other loopholes we should know about???

Video Toaster
Message #99641
I'm TRULY thankful to know there are other critical voices on this forum. The endless vapid cheerleading is counterproductive. I bet half the membership ,here, is sleeping w/ "Amy" ./
I have an interest in arch. simulation and solicit input from draughtsmen and architects. What's your specific app. and what do you hope to achieve? J.K.
John Foust? Are you the same guy who was quoted in a national publication, claiming that an Amiga outperformed a Targa system as a graphics platform? What, if not blind amiga-love, could ever support such a delusional belief??? And I don't blame you for not being interested in DXF conversion,…
Considering the generally rabid attitude in the forum, you can understand why I don't log on more often. I'm really just sad that more wasn't done w/ the amiga. I don't understand why everyone isn't screaming at CBM. Must be the 80's or something… I have a lot of hardware…
Geez, I'm really sorry to have upset your applecart. When do you start to censure dissent? Absolute minimum display for video should be 16 bit. Period. Motorola markets the 88000 which is used in the Maverick. I happen to own a very early Amiga which gives me certain rights to…
Mike, Have you had the opportunity to look at the encoder that Truevision is marketing? $700-$800 and they claim 170A ? Seems cheap for Broadcast and they really supported all us early targa owners. Just curious, J.K.
I think that those who really care about such things (price/power ratios) are going to be looking at Sun Micro pretty soon. By the time you trick out an Amiga 2000 enough to do anything at all, you've entered a price range where it might pay to look at other…

Greg, Thanks. What I meant about text entry was something like Cubi/PM has. So that you can have greater accuracy/speed you can create/edit an object by using the mouse or by entering co-ordinates. Or BOTH. Very useful.What do you use object creation w/ silver? I won't ask more . Thanks,…

Dear G.T.- I've got Sculpt and I'm considering Animate from Byte BY Byte. Before I purchase, I thought I'd ask; How does Silver compare? Other packages? Does anyone allow text as well as graphic input in the obj. editer? Does Silver write to the 020-881 upgrade boards? Mimetics 24 bit…
Sounds like a problem I had w/ a Panasonic CTM-140, which wasn't a bad little monitor. We called them flares, though and they're the reason that you find a degaussing switch on a really good monitor. Is there any external source of electromagnetic interference ? I've seen poorly shielded computers…
cheapest. Lenco makes a nice encoder, too. Try MPCS in NYC. J.Kelly p.s. Try the guys in the Broadcast Professional Forum (go BPF). They know everything.
Joe; ALR is advanced logic research and they make IBM clones. In this case I was comparing cost/capabilities of a 386 clone to an Amiga 2000. Graphics are a pretty complex area. Video confuses people even more. If you are doing video work at home, an amiga is an apt…
#Tone-generator
Message #103448
Rick- I need to generate relatively clean, constant and slightly different tones through the stereo ports of my amiga. Do you know of any PD or commercial programs that would allow me to do this? Layering of subharmonics is a big plus in my application. Thanks- J.Kelly 73170,660 \ex

Message #82215
It's nice to see a mini-review from someone who actually uses graphics softwareto produce images. It's nice also that your credentials ,so to speak, can readily be seen by downloading an image. Now that the Amiga is growing up it's time that everyone stopped slapping each other on the back…

Help

Thanks Steve, that was the problem. The only confusing thing is that I never changed my subtopics to begin with. Must be magic…. Double thanks, John Kelly

VideoScape <-> Sculpt
Message #79785
John, I have both and I'd like to see what you've got. Combining the two programs might make Vid 3-d worth owning. J.Kelly
