And Give your address so that the lawyers for the producers can find you easily

However, MOST of the material shown as being done by personal computers is done
on the Amiga.  Watch for scenes from the commercial tape Light Dreams.  The
author is listed on the show as Oring Buck though he is normally called Orin
Buck.  He showed his copy of the program to the MACRO user group here in AA
last month.

Agreed Thad.  Definately a show worth viewing.  Just get permission to copy it
for distribution.  (Rumor has it that the program is available for sale and
rent at most larger video stores)
