Chris, John's correct the earlier versions didn't include the interlacer, the newer version does. Actually the Amiga has come a long way. It depends on your orientation whether it makes sense to go that route or not. I view it this way. Mac's are the easiest to use but don't give you very much flexibility. PC's are in the middle. Fairly easy to use if you want to rely on the Windows interface, but you've got the guts to play with with DOS and programming. Not to mention a fairly large proliferation of hardware and software. Amiga's are the Nerd machines although this isn't a really fair assessment. They were designed around graphics from the start. I like these Amiga guys cause they're always messing with something. <g>. This one acquaitance of mine was programming his music chip to do rendering. (You don't ask why, in this situations.<BG>) The whole system is layed out to do specific tasks which is a nice feature from a programming standpoint. And you can believe Bablyon 5 has a team of mutant Amiga heads, tweaking and modifying and rewriting the system, much as NASCAR does with "a stock chevy". But then the Amiga lends itself to this. If I had an Amiga I never get anything done. <g> Cause I'd be tweaking it all the time too, just for fun. 🙂
