	There was an Amiga 1000 in a Canadian movie "Family Viewing", shown at
the Toronto film festival last year (in fact it belonged to someone in my user
group).  Again, the Amiga was in the hands of the "bad guys"; in this case, a
private detective surveilling the young hero who was illegally caring for his
invalid grandmother in a disused hotel (he had kidnapped her from a hospital).
It was hard to tell if they even turned it on because they  filmed the detective
from behind the monitor, and any "screen shots" were live video (could have been
genlock, but I doubt it).
