Just to add another voice to the chorus, an associate and I are working with local cable-tv people for future productions. We evaluated various platforms for inexpensive cable-ready capabilities and, as we we expected, the Amiga comes out ahead generally speaking. We suggested using the Amiga in the future work since we thought it to be the defacto standard in the industry. Not only did cable representatives agree but they also mentioned that just the Vancouver site has 6 Amigas already. So, at least in the local area, the Amiga is now the defacto standard for inexpensive cable-ready (computer) platforms. Finally.

A/V Video Magazine did a survey about 6 months ago as to which computer production houses were using. The Amiga came out way ahead, with 45%. As a result, you will see at least one Amiga related article in each month's publication, sometimes more. There are usually ads for Amiga software and hardware as well. So it's not nearly as bleak as some would like you to believe. --hal -- hgm@ccvr1.cc.ncsu.edu "I'm _not_ looser than clams!" netoprhm@ncsuvm.bitnet Zoogz Rift _Interim Resurgence_

However, Videography magazine had 2 good articles about the Amiga this past month. One was about the Penn and Teller demo of the Video Toaster and the other was about the A3000. The 3000 article was good but the author is convinced that the A500 was the original Amiga followed by the 1000 and 2000+. :-\ Marc Siskin, Senior Media Designer, Language Lab U of Michigan Msiskin@shogun.us.cc.umich.edu Marc_Siskin@ub.cc.umich.edu
