Hi Andrew,
Just got the IICC newsletter. It was excellent. It seems to have more substance
than a few issues ago. In case you are interested, there were a lot of blank
pages
in my fax.
I played around with toolbook a long time ago. I liked the metaphor, but it
seemed awfully slow. In fact, what pushed me to getting an AMIGA was how
painfully slow it was to move around complex images in IBM. I have a 486DX 66
with a pretty fast hard drive and 16MB RAM and using ASTOUND and COMPEL, it was
really difficult getting any zip to moving images around. SCALA was far
superior.
I have an order in for the Flyer but I am admittedly nervous and even having
some second thoughts if it is not better to revert back to the IBM. The other
issue I am thinking about is how best to boost rendering speed. Warp engine or
something else, I guess is the question.
Now that LW is on IBM, I am wondering how fast the rendering speed will be
compared to an AMIGA. Any ideas?
I don't have a CD ROM project. Rather, Hugh and I have talked about getting
one. I have lots of ideas, of course, and a number of contacts. So, I want to
carefully pick which one I do for a really low price, because it has to work
well as a demo.
Till the next correspondence.
Michael
