Take a look over Billy Crystal's shoulder when his boss
tells him that he needs him to check with him before
any commercials fly. Yep! An Amiga 1000. Musta gotten
those thru the power-up deal... :-)

Yep! An Amiga 1000. I wondered why in the credits they thank Commadore-Amiga... Now I know! Ya Gotta luv it.

Yep! An Amiga 1000. Musta gotten >>those thru the power-up deal... :-) I saw an Amiga clearly in a movie called Robot Ninja. Can't say much for the movie, I think that movie more or less insulted the Amiga, by showing the computer on the screen. :-) Sri

Wasn't there an A500 on the set of ALF? I could have sworn there was one in the back area, not really visable. -J.Dusek-

Yep! An Amiga 1000. There's yet another reason for this: When TV series are made on a relatively low budget, it is recorded directly to 1 inch videotape, unlike the film used for movies. For most other computers, when you point your production camera at the screen, you get HUGE amounts of flickering. When you point your camera at an Amiga screen, a horizontal bar moves slowly down the screen. Even this can be avoided by plugging in a good quality genlock like the SuperGen and syncing it to the production equipment. Also, the Amiga video output can then easily be attached to one of the production switcher's inputs. ----------->Steve Holland<----------- Internet: wildcat!steve@alphalpha.com| "I never let my schooling get in the USENET: ...!alphalpha!wildcat!steve | way of my education" -Mark Twain
