(This info was related to me by a friend who's really into audio stuff.) A maker (Sensheimer? Soundheim? It was a European company whose name I've forgotten ) of *very* expensive cordless microphones ($10k *each*) has software for the amiga that will control 16 or so of their microphones. Each mike transmits on two frequencies, and the recieving hardware checks to see which frequency has the best sound quality, etc etc etc. Their controlling software runs on the Amiga (instead of the Mac :-) because it can keep up in realtime with a *bunch* of different inputs. I mention this so that Amigoids can tell their "Mac rulez" friends that in the *real* world of audio/visual production and performace, the Amiga is very useful. :-P If anyone is interested in the specifics of this software/hardware, I can ask my friend for all the gory details. -- J.

That (using microphones) is a neat use for the Amiga, but I have a better use: get every Amiga user to look at their computer and say: "I bought my Amiga because I love it, and regardless of which model I have, I shall always support Amiga to the exclusion of Flame Wars, the inclusion of all new expansions, and especially the inclusion of Quality Software, ie it is HD-installable and Multi-Tasks. And THAT'S how much I love my Amiga." Got the hint, mature human beings ? And on a side note will someone from C= (tm) please post the educational and regular prices for the Amiga 3000 ?
