I can't help but wonder if the people that came up with the
advertizement package for the amiga really use the thing....

YES i know that lucasfilm supposedly helped out.... but
these things simply make the amiga llok like yet another toy to
purchase for the kids.... nothing to show the professional
capabilities of the amiga.... in other words, nothing like the
professionally targeted ads that Apple is doing  or the admittedly
goofy "PS/2 it..." business ads that IBM is doing....

Of course maybe part of the reason that I'm so cynical, is that
after I saw the first ad, i flipped the channel to watch Ted Koppel
break in with the earthqueake story...
and as I watched through the evening as the networks switched from
stories of human suffering to do their evening quota of normally
moronic ads for coffee, feminine hygine products, and beer...

serious cynisism here folks....
