With great anticipation I waited to see the fantastic ad campaign that 
CBM had finally put together.  Thinking that finally the Amiga was going to 
become a recognized name to millions of potential users I sat down in
front of the TV waiting for the first ad to show.

Monday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show......
	I did see a slick ad for IBMs OS/2, one for Epson, and one for Apple.
	But no ads from CBM.

Tuesday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show......
	Lots of bad sitcoms.
	But no ads from CBM.

Wensday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show......
	More bad sitcoms and my projects were starting to get behind 
	schedule.....
	But no ads from CBM.

Thursday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show.....
	But no ads from CBM.

Then on a local BBS I find out that the Orlando area will NEVER see any of
the CBM ads because Orlando apparently is not BIG enough. :-(

If this is true I wonder how CBM plans on hitting 92% of the adult population
with 20 or more ads by Christmas time?  What other sections of the country
are being kept in the Amiga blackout zone?

I hope that someday Orlando becomes big enough to get some attention from 
CBM, like say, IBM, Epson, and Apple gives.

[whew!  I feel a little better now, thank you!]
