There may well be some Amigas at Educom.  This month's Amazing Computing 
has an article about Atlanta's demo used to get the 1996 Olympics.  The
demo was done by a Mike Sinclair from Georgia Tech, with lots of help from
the folks at Blue Ribbon Bakery.  It seems Mr. Sinclair did one demo on the
Mac, but found he couldn't do what he wanted to on a Mac.  The article 
describes the creation of the final demo.  It sounds like it was a major 
undertaking.  Blue Ribbon Bakery is releasing some new products that were
developed during their involvment with the creation of the demo.
