Does anyone know what software was used for The MAXX? It was *beautifully* animated. Too bad, but I'm sure it wasn't done with Amigas. Never heard of MTV having anything to do with them. Mr. Zombie

Do you mean Maxx Headroom? Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2

No, the new animation series courtesy of MTV's Oddities–The Maxx. A good comic-book style, but fairly adult, animation. Monday nights at 10, don't know the repeat time. Mr. Zombie

Oh, I got you. I prefer "The Head" myself. 🙂 Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2

Yah, I watched all of The Head, but I wound up very disappointed. I liked the basic premise, kind of kooky, and the main character, but… it fizzled for me. Mr. Zombie

Paul, Indeed, I like the series initially, but it did start to fizzle as the stories got worse and worse. I did like the female sidekick. Can't remember the actress's name. but I loved her character. Beauty, brains, lovely British accent. Sigh. Regards, John Chang

John- The sidekick was indeed nice. You should check out The Maxx. Admittedly, you never can tell from just the first episode, but it looks like it'll be a lot better written, and the drawing and animation is just terrific. Mr. Zombie

Paul, Will do. Its amazing. I work for a company that specializes in developing "Computer Television". Yet, I've been so busy, all I've had time for is the occassional news and ST:Voyager episode. Ironic isn't it? Regards, John Chang

John- I know how you feel. I'm sure they'll repeat the whole thing plenty of times anyway, so don't worry about it. (As if that was at the top of your concerns. <g>) Mr. Zombie

Paul, Indeed, the top of my concerns is getting ready for COMDEX and NCTA. Its gonna be one looong week! Regards, John Chang

Have fun, John! At least COMDEX should be fun once you get there. What's NCTA? National Cable Television Association or something? Mr. Zombie

Well, I haven't seen all the episodes yet… Maybe I don't have to now. 🙂 Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2

Bob, Hmm, now that you mention Max Headroom, I wonder if Matt Frewer would be willing to reprise the role to endorse Scala products? Eh, can't hurt to dream… Regards, John Chang

Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea at that… Bob Comer — Cheyenne, WY USA Team OS/2

Robert, Well, maybe once we're successful I could contact Matt Frewer's agency and the producers of "Max Headroom" and see what happens. Regards, John Chang
