Def Leppard has a new video, "Let's Get Rocked," and it contains a bunch
of 3-d type animation.  They have what look like animated shots of a computer
screen.. which looks NeXT-ish.  (I don't have mine yet, so I can't compare.)
They open some windows ("Virtual Audio"?) and stick some boxes together with
lines (IB?).. well anyway.

I guess this is sort of like that "Was that a NeXT t-shirt in the Bud ad?"
thread... :-)

Looked like an SGI to me.

In this weeks issue of Business Week, the article on DSPs has a
picture of a NeXT.  However, NeXT is never mentioned and the computer
itsef is referred to as a PC.

Me, too, but all I have to go on is the font and window border
style.

	Well, the way I heard it ... is this is a Custom App by a local
Company, that does business with Music+, our French speaking "MTV".
Anyways, as the VJ said [a dumb brunette], that it only took somehting
like 390 hours of "computer time" [assume rendering]. The company must
be working either on SGI or Suns running a custom software.

	They propbably started on Amigas way back when ...
