I seem to remember that the TV series "Cracker"[1] used Amiga 5 / 6 / 1200s
with screenshots of wintel database programs for the criminal database
thingy. Why? Because their native output was viewable on TV without that
wierd scanline effect that you always get if you film a PC. Why they couldnt
use an Amiga native database program I'll never know... :-)
