Hi John, Good to hear there is an office in the Netherlands. I do privately own an Amiga and a IBM platform and am not convinced the Amiga is the platform of my (clients) choice. We do lots of commercial DTV projects and they are all based on PC=products. I have no interest in starting any debate about platforms, but I'm still convinced there is no 'plug and play multimedia' on any hardware.

Fremer, The Amiga comes close, however, like the other platforms there are pros and cons. For example, the Amiga does not have a standard digital video format like QuickTime. Our answer is MPEG. If you have the time, I would strongly suggest going to visit our Netherlands office. Its well worth the trip. After all, the companies I mentioned using the Amiga technology and our software are quiet successful. Regards, John Chang
