I just picked-up a copy of Scientific American's *Trends in Computing* (special issue/vol 1) and there is a picture of school girl using an A1000 to help her with a crayon drawing. It is on page 13 and the caption reads: "GRAPHICS CAPABILITIES of personal computers are improving rapidly. Here a child has utilized a video camera to transfer her crayon drawing to the computer screen. She can now change the image in various ways - say by adding a rainbow." Unfortunately, the computer's name has been removed so this probably won't help sell very many Amigas. -- -- Scott Karlin TRW, Bldg O2-1761, One Space Park, Redondo Beach, CA 90278 BIX: sckarlin USENET: knurlin@trwspf.trw.com Phone: (213) 535-1708 {sdcrdcf, scgvaxd, ucbvax}!trwrb!trwspf!knurlin

Yes, I noticed that the machine the girl was using was an Amiga 1000, But did you notice the conspicuous lack of advertising by anyone but IBM? Maybe IBM bought Sci. American just to publish this issue. And maybe there is life on Mars.... Actually, I was disappointed by the crayon drawing displayed on the screen. You would think the girl would rather stick to paper and crayons and quit marking up the glass on the computer screen. Wax is *so* hard to get off.
