Todd Rundgren is one of us. When he set about releasing a video for his beautiful song Change Myself, back in the early nineties, he pulled out his Amiga (Ten Amigas actually) and made the video himself. Modelling, animating, on his big bed of Commodore Amigas.
  • Yeah, I remember the Video Toaster sure ruffled some feathers at the NAB convention when it was introduced. A few hundred bucks for a system that in many ways outperformed multi-thousand dollar professional suites? Plus the geek goddess Kiki Stockhammer giving the demos? That was a recipe for a convention floor traffic-stopper. I remember they used Rundgren's video as part of the demo. And of course lots of clips of Kiki. That takes me back...thanks, dingles!
  • I went down to the beach to see Kiki? And she was all like "Ennyyyeh" and I was like Whatever! TEPTAE!
