  I saw this too! It was, shall we say, AWESOME! I never thought
Amigavision would be fast enough to handle real-time control.
And those solid-modeled animations were excellent! Especially the one
where it flies around the campus from a helicopter view, and then
moves downward and thru the olympic rings. I wonder if those
animations were done on amiga, or something like an Iris or Sillicon
Graphics.  We Amiga users can now say 'The Amiga helped us win
the 1996 Olympics!' In the spirit of these flame wars, 
I wonder why they didn't use a NeXT?


Proud to be an Amiga owner.

(BTW, I also saw CNN about 2 weeks ago showing the Chicago battle-tech
simulators. CNN showed a clip of the internals of the machine, and
what else was inside? An Amiga)
