Working at an interactive museum design firm in the mid 90's we had freelancer named Claudio who insisted we buy Company of Science and Art's After Effects.

I believe the only payment terms we could work out was a Money Order or Cashier's check. The software was very expensive and he required a loaded Mac probably had Daystar Cards in it...

Interesting. Claudio definitely sounds like an identity Brando would choose. Any other details on this? Can you divulge roughly where the design firm was based?

He was not Brando but every bit as out of his mind as I had met as young and eager person trying to be useful with computers and a design background.

The design firm was Edwin Schlossberg Inc. based in NYC. We were revamping a public space in the AT&T building.

ESI was the best job I ever had but since it was also my first job I had no idea:)
