BTW, Professional animation is a virgin field here in Puerto Rico, so: A) I have an Amiga 500, Could you give me some advice of what to buy to do modest animation and tranfer it to VCR. (I say modest because, I'm a university student.) B) If I take this serious (I mean, make this part of my gross income after finish college), how much I could fee the second? I'm talking a audience of more or less 3 millions. Thanks for your help, Angel // \X/ >< all of my opinions were probably thought up by someone else before > anyways > >-- >Alan Maline INTERNET: maline@einstein.eds.com >Electronic Data Systems Corp.
