[Tig] More memories please

[Dan C. Tatut]

Great times indeed!

I still have an Amiga 2000 with DigiView in the office... maybe I should plug it in again and play with it.

Thanks to Tom Tomlinson/Nice Shoes for supporting the TIG.

Wow. I haven't seen Todd's video in awhile...
He brought his Amiga in and I jumped a few pins and got the composite

We proceeded to "layoff" this very video...

Great times. He's brilliant...

Steve.
