Hi,

I went to SigGraph in Atlanta and I have a little news and a trade
offer.  For Amiga people C= was showing the new high res 1000+ by 800+ mono
monitors.  They were extremely nice.  Dale Luck showed X running on a
2000, said it would run on any Amiga with 1Meg of RAM.  NeWS was also running
on a 500.  Ameristar was showing NeWS.  I wanted to buy one or both, but
no-one would take my money. (Monitors and X or NeWS)

Apple had a animation called Pencil Test.  It was very good.  It was basically
a cartoon, done entirely on a MAC II.  (so they said)

I won a copy of Pixel Paint for the MAC II at one of the demonstrations.  It
is a demo copy only and cannot be resold.  If anyone is interested in making
a swap for this with some Amiga software, please let me know.  Pixel Paint
costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $400-$500.  At least that's what the
people who gave it to me said.  I might consider a swap of my Amiga for a
MAC II insted.

I'll respond in greater deatail if there is any interest.  Probably just
to one or the other group though.

David
