     Yes, the USGS DID use Amigas for their San Andreas fault presentation.
A friend of mine who recently graduated from San Diego State as a geologist
works for them this summer and told me about the animations (he has an Amiga
too).  If memory serves, they used Invision for the presentation. I forget
what 3-D package they used for the 3-D stuff; I think VideoScape, but I'm
not sure.  Sorry I can't remember any more details.
