Miami Vice
« on: January 15, 2013, 11:28:41 AM »
Hi,

A long time since I last posted. A few days ago, I spotted in one of my favorite series some appearance of our beloved machine. I took this picture myself but found a lot of videos on youtube related to amiga machine in Miami Vice. So these guys had the best suits, cars, hair style and computers that could be found at this time. Maybe a reason for you to rewatch the serie ...
In another style, I found a picture of Stephen King's office when he was a young writer. He used a computer that I can't identify, but seemed to me it was a commodore. Can you identify it ?

Thanks a lot,

Didn't know this one. Maybe this other site collecting information about all computers appearing in shows can worth a glance.

Thank you Jorkany.
It definitely looks the same. I'll search about this machine and why he used it. Sometimes it's very valuable for programmers to hear about what (old) users found interesting in some products, even if they're not on Amiga platform. Like this one :

Bye and thanks.

Well done ,

But the site I gave spotted that (http://www.starringthecomputer.com/computer.html?c=36).
And it's quite funny to follow all the computers we loved in different series or films on this site.
Good pictures by the way, I'll surely watch this film sometimes.
Bye.
