G'day, Just thought I'd throw my 2 peneth in…… >> 2. Adopt the 'Bouncing Ball logo'! Everyone in the Amiga community >> loves that logo–and maybe using it would rekindle some of the spirit that >> was Amiga early on. Nooooooooo! I much prefer the multicoloured tick myself. It implies "Can do". Everytime someone fills out a checklist they will be using an Amiga symbol. "Can this computer……" Tick! Yes it can! The ball just implies "Balls!". "Can this computer……" Balls! 🙂 I would also add: 7. Realistic pricing. Video profesionals will buy an Amiga no matter what the cost. Mr. and Mrs. Average computer enthusiast will not.

Sam, I agree. And Video Profesionals are not the people that buy a lot of computers. Mr. and Mrs. average are the ones we needed to sell a lot of Amigas. Else the Amiga will be nothing more than a Toaster machine (until someone puts out OldTek).

<<Video professionals will buy an Amiga no matter what the cost>> True, but we certainly wouldn't mind paying less either! :-> After all, if we could buy anything regardless of cost, I guess it'd be SGI, but the reason ourselves and others have Amigas is because a decent suite of tools is thousands less than SGI. ——— Trent/ReAnimators

> if we could buy anything regardless of cost, I guess it'd be SGI .. Perhaps, but only if there was software at ANY cost that we need to do the job. I use my Amiga in my sign business. I sincerely doubt there is sign cutting software available for it at all. -larry

<<I use my Amiga in my sign business. I sincerely doubt there is sign cutting software available for it at all.>> Of course you're correct, Larry. I was speaking of the video market. Incidentally, what software do you use for sign cutting? Trent/ReAnimators

I use SignEngine for sign cutting. It's pretty good, but could use some work. -larry

Very funny, but also true… I totally agree with you… Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
