The reporter quiped something about a computer system being brought in specially to help keep track of the survivors/nonsurvivors. I glanced up from dinner to see what it was figuring it would probably be something from Big Blue. Much to my surpirse, it was two Amigas. It must have been on the screen for at least two whole seconds, so I haven't got the slightest idea about what database software or whatever was in use. Finally, it looks like somebody figured out a little something about public relations. Or, maybe, heh-heh, the Amiga just happens to be a superior machine for the job. Speaking of Amigas on TV, does anybody know what the one in the police office on Miami Vice is supposed to be used for. I've noticed it sitting there several times switched on with some innocuous looking screen up, but so far none of the characters have done anything with it (while I was watching). Also, is it my imagination, or did they paint that poor Amiga pink? --Bill Bill Mayhew Division of Basic Medical Sciences Norhteastern Ohio Universities' College of Medicine Rootstown, OH 44272 USA phone: 216-325-2511 (wtm@neoucom.UUCP ...!cbatt!neoucom!wtm)
