Thanks Rob
I have never seen this. What a great piece of history. Must have been
mind blowing to be there and see that demo on a portable computer. I
remember back in the mid eighties I was taken by the Amiga while a
close friend got into the early macs. Seems like he picked the long
lasting winner. It took me a while, but Im well and truely there now.
kind regards
chris

The site has been "slashdotted" into oblivion but they have posted a
page of
mirror links to get the vid.
