I just figured most know about him..but beings that I am OLD perhaps not..lol

@Viabguy1

Sad news! Since the article makes no reference to the Amiga may I assume he was the one that pushed for Lightwave on the Amiga to be used for the Babylon5 pilot? Would be good to clarify his Amiga involvement for this thread is all.

... some moments later...

Here's a better article referencing the Amiga, Lightwave and the Video Toaster:

He really respected the legacy of the Amiga (quote from article linked above);

Probably more known in the U.S. ..but I remember him from way back.  Just shows the Amiga was quite important and influential in it's heyday.
