[comp.sys.amiga] Amigas in Movie

cheung@vu-vlsi.UUCP (10/29/87)

	A friend of mine saw prince of darkness.  Much of the movie centered
about this strange transparent capsule fill with a swirling green substance.
A massive team of scientists proceeds to do some heavy duty analysis of what
unknowns exists with the capsule without breaking or disturbing it.  They
surround the capsule with many probes and computers.  And guess what computers
they used the A1000.  According to my friend there were several Amigas
scattered about the capsule.  Finally an A1000 actually is playing a role in
a movie instead of being part of a background prop.

Closer than you might think.

I just saw this film too, and dont't think it's too much of a spoiler to
tell you that the evil swirling spirit in the movie does indeed turn
out to be AmigaDOS.
