I actually saw an Amiga commercial, although not on ET or Monday
Night Football.  After being disappointed (once again) by ET, I
started flipping channels to find something worthy ;-) to watch
until MNF.  Behold, WCBS (NY) had what I instantly recognized from
all the advance poop as (one of?) the new Amiga commercial(s),
complete with a dozen celebraties.  Unless I missed something in
the beginning, I was disappointed-- it showed zilch about the machine.
Too much glitz/hype and not enough substance.  Oh, well, maybe that's
how you sell computers these days.  The new slogan is clever, however;
"Amiga-- the computer for the creative mind".
