I saw my first one on MTV last night, just before Monty Pyton came on
(midnight). It's the one where Stevie convinces  friends in the next room
that he's just won some rock mucic award. It's not obvious in the commercial
that he's using an amiga to give the illusion that he is on a network tv
show.

I'd really like to see a series of ads in the same line as the print "case
history" ads. They do a much better job of conveying what the amiga is all
about. They aren't cute, silly, or try to hide the fact that the amiga is a
computer, not simply a more powerful nintendo type of appliance. 

I'm trying to be nice. Really. The print ads require no apologies. They look
like ads for a real computer company.
