And I suppose that transferring from 24-bit to 8-bit on the Mac is a breeze, also; Do tell me about that. Ham cut-and-paste is relatively easy, considering that all colors are utltimately available in each image. By Amiga standards, even a Mac-II cannot animate.. I've seen examples (demos?) and the results are far from professional (or even smooth). We are talking about a minimum of 15fps with substantial image transitions from frame to frame, with hundreds of frames. Even a '286 VGA has a better chance of aproaching that than the Mac-II's single, multiplexed buss (i.e. Fat chance).
