I agree that it would be very, very advantageous for C= to advertise not
only their product but how people are putting it to use.  One of the
things I enjoy most about AmigaWorld magazine (and beleive me, there are
very FEW things I enjoy about it ) is the articles they have now and
then on how people are using their Amigas to do new and wonderful
things.  I recall just recently seeing an article on a university that
uses Amigas and Suns for doing graphics.  This is the type of things C=
should be advertising.  You can preach to someone until you are blue in
the face about the features of the Amiga, but this doesn't do a damn bit
of good if the person can't picture how to put those features to use.  I
can just imagine myself rambling on to my father about all the wonderful
features of the Amiga ... and it goes right over his head.
Multitasking? what the heck is that?  But if I say ... well ... THIS is
what you can do with that feature ... and this is what Joe Blow down the
street does with it ... then it becomes much easier to understand and
he can better see what he would do with it.
