There is an Atari ST test-flight video, too. It's put out by some company
with a product called "Cosmic Paint" or something. Apart from the lack of
anti-aliasing it's rather nice. The music is by J. M. Jarre (though I suspect
without permission... it sounded like Rendezvous).

If you've seen the Amiga stuff it looks pretty crude, but it's superficially
quite convincing. The guy at the computer store claimed that you couldn't
do anything as good on any computer for under about 20 grand.

How did I get him to make such a bizzarre statement? Acted like an IBM owner.
I think I clued him in when I started talking about Max Headroom, though. He
eventually claimed that "The Amiga can't do this", to which I responded "No,
it can do better" and pleaded lack of time.

Kind of depressing, actually, considering how much they can do with what they
have to work with.
