Hi Steve, I heard THAT! Guess both Advanced Systems and those guys in Montreal (who are they?) have put their 060 cards on hold till the big M chipmaker sees fit to give them the 060 chip in mass or so I'm told. The demand for the 060 is high almost every user I speak with plans on getting one. I am mearly trying to make users realize that piracy is/was one of the reasons the Aimga got into trouble and why we don't see more companies develop products in support of the platform. Alpha Paint was 4-5 years in development and does things NO other paint/graphics product for the Amiga/Toaster can do (and I try hard not to be too comercial here on the net) but, bottom line is if the users don't support us we'll have to move on. BTW Congrads on the DTV Forum! I've already found it helpful personally and I look forward to helping any of our users that join the Forum. Happy New Year! I predict that by the end of 1995 the Amiga will be back and growing stronger. I somtimes wonder if it wasn't a conspiracy by the big networks, cable, post houses, IBM/MAC, etc. to push the Amiga/Toaster out of the market so that they could continue to charge outragous prices. My book is due out in late 95 with a working title of ToasterTV (and yes I DO own the Trademark! 🙂 as is the network/weekly show that I and a few others are putting together to highlight the Amiga/Toaster phenomenon. I'd welcome yours and others thoughts and input! Send me your most outraougs Toaster story. All The Best, Tom Patrick 72212,1103
