Hollywood continues to find more and more uses for the Amiga. The latest example has Russian spies using an Amiga (there oughtaa be a law...). [CBS Late Movie, "Hot Shots"] Broderbund software's print ads feature a stylized Amiga on the facing page to desciptions of their Apple and IBM software. Broderbund does not sell any software for the Amiga. They did, however, use an Amiga to create at least some of their Apple IIgs "screen shots". (Take a close look at their most recent catalogue, it's a laugh). And, most significantly, there is now positive proof that God, the almighty, uses an Amiga. But to see that picture your will need to read "Analog"...

(Take a close look at >their most recent catalogue, it's a laugh). It's funny you mentioned this, it reminds me of the TIME magazine article I read a week or two back. (I think it was the last week of July) There was an article about how executives are using their PC's to play games. They went on to describe some games like golf simulations, war simulations, Balance of Power and Starflight to name a few. The funny thing was, that the article mentioned two "business" PC's, the IBM PC and the Mac. HOWEVER the two pictures that went with the article were scenes from Mean 18 by Accolade and Balance of Power, both unmistakebly taken from the Amiga version of said games. *SIGH* and Rodney says HE get's no respect. -- "Truth is false and logic lost..." - Neil Peart (who at the time didn't realize he was talking about RU) lachac@topaz.rutgers.edu <--------OR--------> {seismo|ames}!rutgers!topaz!lachac

A friend, whose specialty is graphics, writes programs for the Amiga and
is working for Broderbund... wonder if we'll see anything? Real Soon Now?
