	_Dance of The Stumblers_, by Steve Segal.  Rendered on an Amiga 1000
in his bedroom using Aegis Animator, a 'tweening-type animation package.
Music by Rimski Korsakov.  According to what I heard, he aimed a 16mm
camera at the monitor and started shooting frames.

	I imagine his entire system cost well under $2000.

Monday Night Football logos myself, too.
