Workbench 2.0
[continued]
Yeah, I know. I am a long-time subscriber to Video magazine.
RE: "with many studios using it for animatics, animation, on-screen
graphics and titling"
I know that also. One of the local television stations uses Amiga
generated graphics in its weather report, or so I'm told <g>.
RE: "The only difficulty is in the disk drives, since the Mac is rather
quirky in that it uses variable-speed drives"
The latest Mac floppy drive abandoned the Steve Wozniak variable speed
feature, at least in the 1.4mb format mode. Some Mac'ers were upset over
this, 'cause the variable speed method would have produced 1.6mb. It's good
for me and my son, though, 'cause we can utilize my Superdrive (the name of
the new model) to share stuff on floppies.
RE: "You'll also find that the Amiga community is also a lively one … the
Amiga forums are certainly very active."
I found that out some time ago, and reported that to fellow Mac'ers in
the CompuServe Mac forums. I also teased a few DOS friends an colleagues
over this, pointing out how dead their forums are <g>.
