the "ease of moving things around" on the //GS is due to the "fill" mode.
this allows the software to essentially draw everything in wire-frame form
and the graphics chip changes colors as it goes along a scan line according
to the color of the line defining the edge of an object. i think that's a
real neat mode. i also like the 32 channels of sound, but i don't like the
cpu or the operating system or the price. also it would be better with
richer graphics modes (resolution/colors). –Scotty (amiga's still #1)
