I don't know if DigiView is available for other systems, but the
technique of producing a picture (the horizontal windowblind effect
from left to right, and the subsequence colorscan from top to bottom
to colorize the result) was featured on the "Murder By Moonlight"
made for TV movie with Bridgitte Neilsen (sp?) a couple of nights ago.
This happened when they received a picture transmission of the bad
guy from home base.  So maybe Amiga WAS a star, in the background
anyway (the computer itself was not visible in any scene).

(nobody else posted this that I noticed, but then maybe everyone else
 spent their time working on Amy instead of [in retrospect] a great
 waste of time spent in watching the movie)
