Nice find! What's even more amazing is that this is a popular, mainstream, American magazine. Memories of the Amiga tend to be extremely thin over here. And the author even did some proper, non-Wikipedia research!

On a related note, has anyone found a movie theater that's actually playing Tim's Vermeer? I've been trying to see it, but the studio has apparently decided to barely distribute it...

The film sounds interesting. Unfortunately, the nearest movie theatre that would be showing it is 4 hours away from me. I have to figure out how I can be in the area of the theatre in time before the film leaves.

Digi-View was one of the first peripherals I got for my Amiga 1000.  Still have the Panasonic camera and light stand somewhere.

Cool read.
Interesting that Penn and Teller advertised the Video Toaster. Must be lifelong friends with Tim.
