I'll admit that many years ago, about the time the A1200 came out and I got mine ( I think I paid around $599 US dollars) and that was around 1994.  I remember going into the one and only Atari computer store in town here and they had this "new" Atari ST falcon on display.  

They had a "Demo" running on it.  It had what looked like true color pictures and there was some pretty awsome realtime effects being done to the pictures.  Stuff I still have never seen my Amiga's do.

Made me feel like the first time I say the NewTek Demo Reel 3 on Amiga or Shadow of the Beast.  I was a bit jealous.  

I have no idea what the demo was called, but would love to see it again to see if really was as good if I remember or if I was just having a little guilt having just dropped a bunch of cash on my A1200.

Of course I loved my A1200 and Amiga blows Atari out of the water, but that one demo seemed, well, pretty cool.

Back in my day, we didn\'t have water. We only had Oxygen and Hydrogen, and we\'d just have to shove them together.
