The show after "Game, Set and Match" also used Amiga 1000's.  Yes, on
Motorweek a A1000 was visable in the background (with the amiga's label
covered with tape).  The show also had some graphics which looked like
the work of "The Director" and "DPaint II".
 
	The amiga may have also been used on "War of the Worlds" this week.
There was a sequence of Videoscape-like animation of an alien ship and
the Amiga has been seen on the show before.  The joke is that the animation
was supposed to have been generated on a supercomputer.

	Remember, keep watching the skies (and the TV)....
