I saw it, but not on Entertainment Tonight.  It was on "USA Today," a "news"
show that's pretty insipid even by today's insipid TV news standards*.  The
Amiga segment ran all of 30 seconds, and the announcer talked about the
commercials for "Commodore's new line of personal computers."  New?  Does
that mean I've just dreamed about having an A500 for the last year & a half?
I guess I shouldn't complain; *that*, at least, is no worse than what
the "mainstream" press does to the Amiga.  (Come to think about it, calling
the Amigas "new" can't hurt.  The hardware's still more advanced than most
computers.)


*What do you expect from USA Today, though?  They should call themselves
"News Lite:  Less than 1/3 the information content of a regular
news(paper|show)."  I'm happy for the coverage, though.  They *do*
occasionally hit on something worth covering....
