This show was actually a repeat from earlier in the season, but it
was good to see them air it again. 

Lou Wallace of AmigaWorld was one of the guests on the show (you'll
remember him showing off his prowess at playing "Menace") and I
bumped into him on People/Link last night and mentioned I'd seen
his grinning visage on teevee earlier in the day... he said this
show was actually C.Chronicle's second "mainly Amiga" show and that
they were planning a third, air-date unknown, subject matter
unknown.  I too hope they'll spend a little less time on games in
the next go-round.. although a well done game can be a good showoff
it can also give many uninitiated viewers the wrong impression of
what Amiga is all about.
