Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke... and an Amiga?

Hello, the Amiga community! Long time, no see.

Do I spy this correctly? An A2000 or A1500 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O9cYTZXekA

About 2 minutes, 17 seconds into the video, with a nice mandelbrot on the screen. IIRC Clarke used Amigas for generating fractal landscape images for a book of his.

Certainly in good company. First a light discussion on the origins of the universe and life, then a good bash in Sim Earth :-)

I thought it was a "went into a bar" joke.

Well yes, obviously it should be.

Hilarious! Or not - I'm grasping for straws here, really.

Absolutely. Dawkins and Adams would have completed the group very nicely IMHO.
