My old Texas Instruments computer used to backup to an audio tape. It was the only way to save my LOGO programs. I'll have to dig it up and see how it survives some mp3 compression.
There's a great article in the September 2003 "Siggraph Edition" of Animation Magazine with the same title as my subject. Basically, four brilliant Visual Effects wizards pick their favorite moments. It would be worth checking out if you can find a copy.
Two personal picks of mine would have to be Gollum for being such a successfully integrated CG character. Especially considering the way they did it using motion capture of Andy Serkis. Another wonderful use of computers was in "O Brother, Where Art Thou". All of the film was scanned into digital form at Kodak's Cinesite facility. Then the brother's Coen were able to do massive color alterations to the film; for instance making the leaves in the forest a fully different color than they were. There was a great article, I believe in Cinefex, about this.

I bought a PS2 a year ago just for this game. In the mean time, I haven't played anything but GTA3 on it.

He's just right.
Anyone remember that technology? Anyone using it?
