Fun fact: Comedian Dana Carvey's brother Brad Carvey built the first wire-wrapped Video Toaster -- arguably the Amiga's "Killer App", which spawned Lightwave3D and powered the visual effects of countless 90's science fiction shows (as well as some film work). In Wayne's World II you can spot Garth wearing a Video Toaster t-shirt to their music festival.

- gdubs 11y agoWow, that's really something -- stars on hit TV show for better part of a decade and moves to Kansas to QA an Amiga product. Illustrative of how passionate people were about the Amiga.
