The Bay Area Computer Currents (a free mag here in the Bay Area) reviewed
an animation program for VGA compatibles made by the AutoCad people.  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 throw around a lot
of buzzwords like price/performance and additional hardware needed to justify
the superior performance of the VGA system.  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....  Anyway the article took great strides to show the superiority of
the VGA system.

Methinks they doth protest to much...
