Michael,
>> Its great to actually talk to someone you have actually met in person
Yes, it's easy to forget that they typist at the other end of the line is
a real person.
It sounds like you have a lot going. My problem regarding MM is that I'm
interested in developing the product and not actually getting out a
slugging contracts. I enjoy playing with my toys. 8)
Yes, Hugh and I worked together for about 3 weeks. I had just started at
Tayson as he was leaving. We communicate regularly and he is now the
Associate Editor of InforMedia.
I worked with Peter Richardson at Tayson Information for about 5 months
primarially developing and maintaining a kiosk in the National Sports
store at Yonge and Sheppard (it's still there 'till the end of the month
if you are interested). It was a windoz based product done in Multimedia
Toolbook. We almost went with the Amiga but Pete is a PC person and
didn't want to take the risk on an unknown platform.
>> I would be delighted to talk this way or by phone or in person with you
>> further about AMIGA land as I am new to it, and have my own >>
background in IBM.
Certainly, I've emailed you my phone number and you can also find it on
the newsletter. I switched to the Amiga in '90 (from the PC) after a
dealer demonstrated how it can multitask (play music, wordprocess AND
format a disk!) I am now making my way back to Windows with the purchase
of a 486. A fact of finances. 8( Actually, Windoz based systems are
getting better and Chicago should make the switch easier.
I'd like to hear more about your CDROM project. That is my ultimate goal,
to develop CDROMs. Kiosks are fine but they don't have the same depth or
interesting information that can be contained in CDROMS.
>> For now, I am offering to do things at below market
>> rates in order to acquire some experience.
Tell me about it, it's so true! 8)
