Just 5 cents of thoughts.  In the past 4 days I've seen the Amiga ads each
day at least once.  If that continues, for sure I'll see them at least the
20 times 'people' are supposed to see them between now and Christmas.

Actually I like the ads.  They are short on 'substance', but the message
is clear: you can do many things with the Amiga which you can't do with
other similarly priced systems.  For the people that claim that these ads
do not stress the 'technical' aspect of the Amiga or the A2x00 systems, note 
that the campaign till Christmas is clearly aimed at the A500, while CBM has
already staed that an A2x00 campaign will be done 1Q90.  While I do understand
that the folks in Grand Forks, SD might never see the ad, I also understand CBM
strategy of targeting particular markets (like LA for example).

I'm anxiously waiting to see the 7-page spreads in Life, Time and Newsweek.
