["Just wait till '96!", top slogan for Demos 1992 convention in NYC]

Spotted in the latest (july 1990) issue of SunExpert magazine. An article
of computer animation, and trying to find out "where the hell was all
of the neat animation software for Sun workstations". Our hero is surveying
the landscape, after looking over PeeCees and Max, he comes across an 
interesting looking box (reprinted without permission, so sue me):

	You've got PCs at the bottom," says Sheer. "At the top, though
	are the Apple Macintosh and especially the Commodore Amiga."

	Commodore? our Hero thinks. Commodore? As in Commodore Business
	Machines Inc. West Chester, PA? Yep. Commodore's a big league
	player in this niche, thinks to the Amiga, which has emerged
	as the machine of choice for the low-cost producer. The Editor 
	learns that Cable Channel, a video-tape news "magazine" for the
	Cable Tv industry is produced on an Amiga. He learns that
	Polar Arts, Los Angeles, CA uses the Amiga machine to do 3-D
	modeling for no less a giant than motion picture maker
	Warner Bros. In fact, Commodore has recently introduced the
	Amiga 3000, an upgraded Amiga version. . .

On page 51 is a nice color shot of the A3000 with a stupid looking
3-D bar chart on it.

Good pr, eh?

Any opinions are my own since nobody else would ever want them.
