I'm surprised no one is talking about other demos, period.

      My roomate & I just downloaded Animate's first demo. They said
it was good, but they didn't prepare us enough.  It totally blew us away!
using the blitter, it copies about 128 (a guess, i didn't count) 3d looking
balls on the screen and using simple mathematical formulas, an almost endless
variety of spinning, snakeing, pulsing, etc. 3d patterns can be formed.  There
are about 5 patterns when you first boot it, toggled with the mouse.  when we
warm booted, another series of patterns emerged automatically!  We didn't
figure out what a column of hex numbers were, untill I struck upon the idea
of using a mouse in port2. it changed it, but when we plugged in a joystick,
we found we could modify all of the paramaters of the formulas! (we were
quite satisfied with the defaults until we found out about joy2) The music
is short, repeating, but very nice, especially on a good stereo system.
When I leave my computer on (24 hrs a day now) and am not running anything,
this is what I leave on (its much nicer than a blocky hand holding a disk!)
    Its called Lollybobs, and I can post it or mail it if any interest
manifests itself in my mailbox. A guaranteed knockout, considering it takes
up almost no memory, and loads in seconds. If it only Multitasked!
