I was watching Countdown tonight and after the Al Gore segment, the top story was about 7 different homebrew Star Trek productions undertaken by amateurs.
And clearly shown was some video on an Amiga monitor. I don't know it they were using a Toaster or what. It looked like a 1080 to me.
It should be on again 9-10AM Eastern Time US. You'll see this segment in the last 10 minutes of the show. Set TiVo's to stun.

There always has been a healthy Trekkie community amongst the Amiga one :) just ask Jens

From what I saw of the segment, Keith Olbermann has an encyclopedic knowlege of Star Trek too. In the opening seque/segway he even made an analogy between Kirk's "reprogramming" for the Kobiyashi Maru test to the end-run the amateur Trek fans were doing around Paramount.
He closed with an arcane Spock refrence that only the loyal would recognize. Of course, being old, i can't remember what that was now. It's been like 14 hours since.
MSNBC needs to get with the program and put the shows online.
