On a related note: While watching "Neptune All Night" on PBS, I kept
thinking "boy, this sure looks like the 'Probe Sequence'".

Actually, it's the other way around: Joel Hagen did a very good job at
capturing the "look and feel" of the data and images that arrive at
JPL.  (The 'Probe Sequence' demo disk shows what it would look like if
a Voyager-like probe to Alpha Centauri were to find an alien skull.)

Since there are a lot of new Amiga owners who have not seen this particular
demo, I think it would be appropriate for Joel to send this demo to
Fred Fish.  It would get a wider distribution there than it's current
status as a $10 demo disk from The Right Answers Group (creators of
'The Director' animation control program).
