They seem to think a $299.00 program + VGA compatible = a much better animation system than the amiga (or MAC II) will ever have.

They even print a few untruths, "Animator! compared favorably with the Amiga, which is limited to 64 colors 4096 when using the same resolution. (320 X 200) I guess you can't animate in HAM....
