I disagree and you obviously have not used an Archimedes.  In the 2MB of ROM
you have RISCOS, The font manager (outline, anti aliased fonts), three common
font families, Printer drivers, Applications like : Edit, Paint, Draw, Alarm,
calculator, online help, configuration utility etc.  What does this mean as a
user?  Well with a base model with 1 floppy you can edit some text, incorporate
it into a drawing, edit a painting, compile it all into a DTP package (which
you loaded from your single floppy) and print the whole lot out, without
swapping that floppy once!  This means that a 1 floppy archimedes is very
usefull and usable indeed!

The Beta/Developers kit is only available on CD. See an ibm newsgroup for more.
You won't need one for the final released version, though it might be the 
cheapest method. Lots of workstation vendors are encouraging use of CD these
days.

Okay...  :)  Computability is based here in Milwaukee, and I'll be
blunt:  Stay away from those cheeseheads, they're the folks that give
us Wisconsinites a bad name.  Personally, I go through Safe Harbor.
They run a local store here in Milwaukee, and they're some of the
friendliest people I know.  The manager is an avid Amiga fan, even if
he does think C= is a bunch of fools.  You should have heard him the
morning that he heard that C= was changing their 3000+CDTV to the
multimedia thing...  But some of the other folks thought it was a
really good way of selling 3000's, and they eventually talked him into
believing it was a really good idea.

Anyways, my humble advice:  Avoid Computability, and Safe Harbor is
Great.  :)

I don't believe Marc even owns an Amiga at all anymore.  Last I heard, he
was selling his 500 to get some HAM radio equipment.  Marc doesn't even own
an Amiga!  Check this out!  Oh, but he did say something like "...but I have
access to a 3000".  BFD.  

Think I'll add this fact to my sig.

Well, that's great! If the 68030 is cheaper than the 68020, then I'll be the
first to jump on the 68030-low-end bandwagon! I'm simply advocating "the 
cheapest thing faster than the 68000" - and no 68010 jokes!

Did anyone else notice what looked a LOT like toaster effects on the Sci Fi

There were some of the 'organic' wipes, and the snow-background on some wipes
looked toaster-ish. Also, there were some Chroma-FX... I think they used other
equipment as well, because some of the stuff even the toaster couldn't do, like
the inset circle with the face moving around. Most of these were in the UFO

  I thought I saw something about Amiga-World in the credits, but not too

Another interesting bit of info is the development of a

for Christmas release. With the large software entertainment
product base already in EA's possession, this new 32-bit
game console appears to be a winner. Apparently, all games
will be released in a CD-format. Makes one wonder what
Nintendo will call their next system? What about Sega?

Perhaps the Super-Duper Nintendo System?
The Sega Exodus? The Sega Revelation?

The odd thing is, neither the price of the hardware/price of software
is showing any sign of coming down in cost. So much for advances in

Why should he you get away with far more wasted bandwidth than the combination
of the other advocates here.

Surely a matter of taste. IMHO, the game didn't look anything realistic
but rather like a collage of animated photographs. The sound was cute
in the beginning but gets annoying after some time.

On the other hand I have seen a digitized golf player on CDTV (this
wasn't a game, so the comparison is not a good one) which looked
_realistic_.

This of course has nothing to do with CDTV vs. CD-I player, it just
judges the quality of that golf game.
