I'll admit that it was good given the limitations Leo had to work with,
but it paled in comparison to a lot of the other animations (done on the
ZILLION dollar parallel processor graphics computers etc...).  
A good demo, but not THE show stopper.

The REAL show stopper at the Commodore Amiga booth at SIGGRAPH was the girl 
doing the MAX HEADROOM-type video for DigiView.

I'm sure everyone who was at SIGGRAPH will agree with me on this one.
