Another bit of interesting stuff.  I caught the tail end of some game show on
MTV (no, I don't watch MTV.  I can't stand "rap" music) and one of the prizes
was.....an Amiga 500!  I thought it was strange, because the show was music
oriented, but the Amiga came with (gasp!) TextCraft Plus.  You would think
something musical would be more appropos.  Ah well.

Oh, and on PBS there's a program called "The ACME School of Stuff".  Most
of the graphics they use is done on (you guessed it) an Amiga.  It's an A1000,
though.  There's still life in the old girl yet!  (I use my 1000 every day).
The show is produced in Canada, I think.  It's on Saturday at about 11:00 a.m.
here in L.A.  It's an interesting show.
