I just happen to stop by the local Software Etc. boutique, and lo and 
behold I found a brand spanking new Amiga brochure.  It is  _slick_!
(or at least much slicker than anything commodore has _ever_ done for
the amiga!)

The front page says:

	REMEMBER?
	Computers (the Personal kind) were going to set the world on
fire. You were going to be able to attach them directly to your brain,
to your emotions, and fly.
	Well, it's happening. Finally. And the one that's doing it, the 
Amiga, has a passionate following, not surprisingly.
	Brain surgeons, musicians, writers, artists, video/graphics
designers, astronomers- in other words, people who need computers
to express search, capture, embody, to explore concepts, and who
don't want to wait another 50 years to do so- have found the AMIGA.
And the Amiga has found them.


			You are Next.

The next 12 pages are filled with personal examples of how people
are actually using the amiga to be more productive, creative, etc.

The back page has pictures of amiga products, the 500, 1084 monitor, 
HP Paint Jet printer (!!), Commodore MPS printer, A590, 1680 modem, A501 mem
expansion.

I found it rather interesting that they were with it enough to advertise the
HP paintjet printer. I wonder if they got HP to chip in for the cost of the
brochure? :-)	I also found it interseting to note that there was no 
mention of the 2000, the bridgecard or anything like that. Just the 500
on it's own merits.

Anyway, go and check it out. Already the brochure was enough to really
get the attention of some friends of mine who were only kinda leaning to
the amiga.  It sounds like they are going to buy now.

I think this ad campaign is really going to make a splash.
