All right, I'll play stupid; by your own admission: > Just because I cannot create cross platfrom MM for this machine, should > I ignore it's talented users? So how are you planning to collect material from "it's talented users", if you can't support their computer's format? > Should you, as a member of this forum, discourage commercial CD ROM > multimedia producers from poking about, looking for content > contributors? I don't think so. However, your attitude and narrow-minded > comments may do just that! Oh, gee, I'm sorry: I would expect a "commercial CD ROM multimedia producer" to understand that we have no problem with the ISO 9660 format; and I'm sure _somebody_ out here would be willing to help you develop a player based on Interplay or Scala. As I recall, _you_ were the one that came onto an Amiga forum with the "narrow-minded" view that you can only support Mac and PC formats; a lot of us feel that's an insult. And as you replied to Matt, > Some of our contracted artists and one of our employees are Amiga > users. If we could figure out how to do it, we would. Gee, you'd better hire more Mac and PC artists, huh?… I may be a sarcastic a$$hole, but I'm not "confrontational": I have no qualms about answering ads from Sega looking for "Amiga artists", because Sega has the ability to convert _our_ filetypes into _their_ filetypes. If I sent you a box full of floppies (converted to PC disk format, which Sega doesn't even request) loaded with IFF, ANIM, 8SVX, or even DIFF files, could you use them? If one of us out here sent you an assembled multimedia presentation in Scala, could you "publish" it? Of course, I'm sure my vitriolic narrow-mindedness has turned you away from all Amiga users, now and forevermore; well Godspeed, Mr. Irvine: By focusing on the "Microsoft market", you run the risk of being rolled over by the Microsoft juggernaut…. I hear they're really picking up steam in this new Multimedia market they created…. "If I could draw, I wouldn't NEED the danged computer!" Mr. C
