Don,
Thanks a lot for sharing your views on painting with or without a computer program. I
should have given you this information before. I have an A1200, 8 mb ram, 340 mb hard
drive, 030/50 accelerator, C=1960 monitor, Q-drive CD-rom, and an interest in drawing
or painting bald eagles. I am trying to find out if I can use a 17" monitor full
screen with my setup. If so, I think AGA ( I use dblntsc no flicker mode) is fine but
my 14" monitor is a bit small. I have used DPaintIV AGA and Personal Paint 6, and I
value your opinion on the other programs.
Any other suggestions?
Mark
