   A significant portion of the confuser generated graphics for Lucas Films   
   (Star wars, etc) were done on Amiga confusers. It also was a great desk   
   top publisher machine ... although the Macintrash people woiuld never in   
   a gazillionn years admit that.   
      
   Had Gould and Ali not bankrupted CBM for fun and profits the Amiga could   
   be competing favourably for a big slice of the PC market.
