Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on what would be the best solution ( considering present conditions) for someone who has a Flyer system but finds he needs to somehow get faster LW production so my Flyer can be utilizied more efficiently. I have a stock A4000 Amiga. Do I get a standalone LW (which is on sale to Aug. 15th at reduced price) with another platform or do I look into something like cyberstrom or do I just hold tight and wait to see if their are other options that might arise in this crazy market ( I have a PowerMac, could this have a future with LW?) thanks jack lehman

Jack: I am making some difficult decisions myself. I have an Amiga 4000 and Flyer and just got a 100mhz Pentium. I am carefully considering getting the stand alone LightWave for $700.00, but at the same time if I new how good the PC Toaster is I might opt to purchase it for a few hundred dollars more. That would take care of transferring the files back to the Amiga/Flyer. I could also take the external box on location and use other PC's to editing or animation. Hmmmm…….What to do? Well, lets hope we make better decisions than when we purchased the pre-released Flyer! Good Luck, Bill Keller V.I.P. Video Productions
