Our first computer was a Tandy from RadioShack. When I got really into computer animation I learned about the Amiga and The Video Toaster, which included Lightwave, which generated images for some of the best 90s television science fiction shows. It also, notably, was created by Brad Carvey who's brother Dana Carvey, who wore a Video Toaster t-shirt as Garth in Wayne's World 2.<p>Anyway, we finally, maybe, had enough money to buy an Amiga and drove a couple hours down to New York City to B&H Photo back when it was basically one shop, and there it was.<p>But the guy's at the shop said, "you don't want to buy this - Commodore is going under."<p>So, never did get to actually use the Amiga but, I felt like I did. Subscribed to the magazines and all. It really was a magical machine.
