Great stories!  And Rob, no making fun of the Chyron,
that was my first real TV job!  I could roll credits
like nobody's business!  My first machine (even prior
to Chyron) was the Dubner CGB with the 3D module,
which I taught myself, manual in hand.  The facility
had bought one but had no idea how to use it!  I
proceeded to try to recreate the animation form the
Dire Straits video Money For Nothing (which I found
out later they did on a Bosch machine.)  1987 folks...

..."Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair created the (Money for
Nothing) animation, using a Bosch FGS-4000 CGI system.
The animators went on to found computer animation
studio Mainframe Entertainment, and referenced the
"Money for Nothing" video in an episode of their
ReBoot series. The video also included stage footage
of Dire Straits performing, with partially
rotoscoped-animation in bright neon colors, as seen on
the record sleeve."
