     Animator has been around for some time. I am just figuring out how to really make it put on a show. It is sold now for under $100.00 combined with a very
nice 32 color drawing/painting program. Animator is also available as an upgrade for anyone who purchased the separate Images program.
     There are perhaps even better animation packages at very reasonable costs.
Check out Deluxe Video Construction Set ($65). Also, for a very professional
animation system, see the article in the January 1987 issue of AMIGA WORLD on
the CALIGARI system (Octree Software is at 1501 Broadway, Suite 1800, New
York, NY 10036). To see what these animation packages can do, try to dig up
a copy of Amiga meets Atari... it is a hilarious little program from NMexico.
     The Amiga makes the IBM look very sick indeed when it comes to graphics.
A colleague of mine saw my Amiga a few weeks ago and went out to look int EGA
cards and such in order to make his PC "sort of" do a LITTLE of what the Amiga
can do, and it would have cost him $600...almost as much as the whole Amiga
system. And that doesn't include the cost of his new monitor!
     Oh well, how will we ever convince the world?...
