There's a mini-review of the Cellular Automata Laboratory in the 
computer games section of the (I believe) latest issue of Scientific
American.  It sounded like a pretty interesting toy for those that
like to play with automata, but not in the same league as a h/w
tool like the CAM-n boards.  If it's the one I'm thinking of (there
were two CA packages reviewed in the article), one of the more
cutesy features is the ability to import a picture to use as the
seed for a run; One series of illustrations shows the starship
Enterprise dissolving into an amorphous soup.
