Also, apparently it wasn't all done on an Amiga. The latest MacLeak has a half pager on the "RoboCop GUI" whose viewer was supposed to have a "more Mac-like interface as opposed to a DOS-like interface". Apparently all that made it past the cutting room floor was the menu bars and a little skull over in the left hand corner where the Apple usually is... They spend the next few paragraphs describing the rats nest of cables and boxes they had to hook up to the Mac to get the video out to film... And then of course, in typical Mac-Style, the article makes it sound like they designed and did all the graphics on the Mac and that 4 menu bars on the screen are an unbelievably great accomplishment.... >2nd BTW, the movie did suck. I've heard this enough to scare me away from seeing it..... -- >| Christopher M.
