Powell working on Finalcut Pro doesn't surprise me.  If I remember 
correctly, he was one of the first Pop artists (along with Larry Fast) to 
evangelize digital synthesis/sequencing.  This was during the 70's -- 
before anyone had even conceived of MIDI, much less adding a computer to 
the mix.  He's always been a major hexhead.

As for Rundgren, you're correct: he was heavily involved with the Toaster, 
although I don't recall if it were from a design standpoint or merely as 
an 
alpha-tester.  However, he is credited with producing some of the first 
music videos using computer animation, and these were done exclusively on 
the Video Toaster.
