As long as we're getting nostalgic, I was on the development team for the original Amiga 1000 way back in 1984, and worked as an assistant producer at Electronic Arts for Deluxe Productions, a video production program for the Amiga. EA tried to coin the phrase "desktop video" for the marketplace, but it didn't stick. Neither did Deluxe Productions.
These days you can shoot high-def video, edit it, and post the results using an a iPhone. It's a different world, but making something people want to watch is still every bit the challenge it was back when.
