It looks like WordPerfect Corp is not the only big player in the Amiga market any more; I just got this in the mail. The address label clearly came from a mailing list, but I have no idea which mailing list it was. The letter and the envelope both have a little picture of our favorite mouse on it, and there are a lot of small details that make me think it's not a joke. ---------- letter from mail Walt Disney Computer Software, Inc.

I have seen that animation program demoed with the working title "Onion". I was very impressed with its capabilities and it was apparently a very old version. Unless it is outrageously priced, I plan to pick it up right away.
