Hi there,

I haven't had much time to follow this group for the last few weeks
due to a couple of big projects going on here.  I just wanted to
say congrats to all re: the PBS "Computer Chronicles" show that
just aired here in Ohio on 2/20/88.

They devoted the entire show to the Amiga line of computers.  Every
one of the inveterate Amiga hackers here step back and take a bow.
I was impressed, since Computer Chronicles tends to be a blue
pin-stripe and McIntosh forum.  I was particularly impressed with
the demonstation of the "Video Toaster" card for the 2000.  Man,
that card does things that only an Ampex ADO could have done for
about 30x the cost a couple of years ago.  I liked it when Gary
Kildall said that "NEITHER the Mac nor the PS/2 can do THAT!"

Owing to the fact that homage is so frequently paid to IBM on that
show, I was kind of surprised that the Bridge Board wasn't
mentioned.  Yup, the whole show about the Amiga standing on its own
right.

I suppose everyone else saw the show six months ago; I am none the
less impressed.
