If anyone remembers the old Computer Chronicles TV series which ran on PBS here in the US back in the 1980s, here's a 1985 episode where hosts Stewart Cheifet and Gary Kildall take a look at the Amiga 1000 and the Atari 520ST, which both lauched a few months before this episode was broadcast. It's a pretty good episode and shows that both computers befuddled users a bit, including their own companies.

Here's the episode on YouTube.

And while we're at it, here's an episode from 1988 where Stewart and Gary take a look at the (then) new Amiga 500.

I think I'll watch these during my lunch break today.

Hah! The Atari ST were asked if they could show their own "red and white soccer ball bouncing" demo.

(laughter).
Atari guys: "That's easy!"
Computer Chronicles: "This seems to be the standard demonstration now..."
Atari guys: "Well it's a good example of graphic animation for the products."
Computer Chronicles: "Mm hm."
Here's their version of said boing ball in the video Amiga vs Atari ST - Computer Chronicles from 1985 antiquity.
