#Amiga Doubter
Lisa,
You need to talk to a guy named Chris Tolmie. He has been using the Amiga
for years in DTP and graphics. With ADPro Interchange and the like,
compatibility in graphics is not that much of an issue. On the PC HiJack
reads/converts Amiga formats as well. Also if you have a tricked out
Amiga with Emplant or bridgeboard/Amax then you have 3 machines in one
box. What more could ya want?
I mainly do video, but all my printed material is done with PageStream
(can go head-to-head with any DTP on any platform) then take my stuff to
the local lino boys on a PC format disk with PostScript output files that
they look at on their Macs and say things like, "you forgot the
registration mark on page 1…" then they just run the stuff no problemo
to the old 2400 dpi color print beasty.
As far as graphics, if you don't make it, it won't be becuase of the
Amiga. The packages are there, the professional I/O quality is there, it
is merely a case of the talent and business acumen of the user.
Now, if you are talking networked accounting/data base packages for a
multi-million dollar company, better get something else….
