- I notcied that there is a show on the new Sci/Fi channel that is produced as
- a sort of Public Access show like Mystery Science 2000 style. It is called
- "Mysteries from beyond the ..(something).." They used Amigas and the Video
- Toaster 2.0 to do wipes, fades, and disolves. It was very obvious. And,
- in the credits they mention ASDG. I assume they used ASDG's morpher for
- their intro.
