Another Amiga sighting!!!

I was just watching the Discovery channel when Beyond 2000 came on.  It looked
interesting so I watched it.  About 15 minutes into the episode (episode 77 to
be exact) they started talking to Timothy Leary, of 1960's fame, when he started
talking about computers and how wondeful they are, etc...  Then I saw an Amiga
500, then a 2000, then a 1000.  This guy was surrounded buy Amigas.  Then he
was showing some animation which I didn't recognize and he starts saying things
like, you know to do graphics of this quality used to cost many thousands of 
dollars, but now it is affordable enough, and easy enough to do that a 14 year 
old can do it!!!  Then there was a DeluxePaint screen with some guy using a 
brush that looked like Spock's head.  The whole thing lasted about 5-10 minutes,
and was very enjoyable.  Annnnnnnnd, its going to come on again this Saturday.
So for those of you who missed it, episode 77 will be coming on at 6:00 P.M.
(Eastern Standard Time) on Saturday, January 5th.  Don't miss it.  The only 
drawback was that once again there was no mention of the Amiga specifically, 
BUT, you can clearly read the name on the monitor in several of the close up 
shots.  Happy viewing....
