> Buy an Amiga.. Now there's a thought.
I looked at buying a used video toaster with lightwave 3.5 and a used amiga
2000 with a par board and some extra hard disk space. It ended up an amiga
with a 25 mhz 040 with a complete animation setup cost as much as a powermac
with more ram, a bigger hard disk, video in & out, (audio in & out, but I
don't need that right now), and a cdrom drive. I then started hearing
on this list how pictures were taking 30 to 45 minutes per frame to render
and I decided the powermac with it's 4 to 20 minutes per frame would be a
slightly better deal even though the software wasn't as powerful. Of cource
I could spend 11,000 on an alpha to get good rendering speed, but since that
is almost my entire year's salary (it is more than I made last year), I don't
really see that as an option. Dec sells a 150 mhz alpha for 6,000 though.
I was really tempted by it, but lightwave wasn't out for the alpha and wouldn't
be until november - january.
