   Have you noticed that the Amiga SIG column hasn't been in A/V Magazine in
the past couple months?  However, Videography magazine had 2 good articles 
about the Amiga this past month.  One was about the Penn and Teller demo of
the Video Toaster and the other was about the A3000.  The 3000 article was
good but the author is convinced that the A500 was the original Amiga followed
by the 1000 and 2000+.  :-\
