|For a movie that was supposed to have all the computer animations done on |am Amiga, it appalled me that the `command screen' (for lack of better |definition) of RoboCop 2 was so obviously a Mac that they didn't even take |out the little apple character in the upper left. | |I dunno about anyone else, but this really burned me! | |-=> CAW First off, pay more attention when you see it next. That ain't an apple up in the corner...it's a skull! Secondly, no one would have recognized the Amiga menus; they a) aren't popular enough and b) don't really have a distinctive look to them.

Does this imply Robo II is more user friendly...... ===> FLT KTJ |

In-Reply-To: message from dfrancis@tronsbox.xei.com It's not so much that they aren't popular enough, but they're invisible. Remember, you don't see menu headings until you press the right mouse button.
