A friend of mine is in the video productions field, and after attending a
rather large convention where the different hardware companies were selling
their machines, and regular video companies where showing their stuff (basic
"hire us!" set-ups), that the Amiga was a major shower.  Most of displays
were using Amigas for video effects of all sorts.  He said that he did see
the Amiga doing special effect excepts from Robocop II.  

Adding to the tid-bit, it is interesting to note that the Amiga is the
computer most companies in the video field (of which there are hundreds)
are using.  I will write my friend a letter via Bitnet and ask him to
write a short bit, so I don't give any incorrect or misleading info.
