Commodore-... never mind. Since everyone claims that Copperman is behind these commercials, and since Copperman is in charge of Commodore-US, I always assumed that the commercials were only going to be shown in America. It would be interesting if Commodore International (which is based in Bermuda) got the same ad agency to work up commercials for other countries. The problem is that other countries view the Amiga in a COMPLETELY different way. Past-CEO [oops... name censored... I think I promised never to say it again :-)] made a big deal about how Americans view the Amiga as "The Amiga 2x00 which is really powerful as a business tool" while Europeans view it as "The Amiga 500 which blows away any other home computer". (Hmmm... could this partially explain the trend of European programming styles?) -Tom -- Drew University -- Tom Limoncelli C M Box 1060 -- limonce@pilot.njin.net limonce@pilot.rutgers.edu P O Box 802 -- tlimonce@drunivac.Bitnet <<<-has a "T" in it.
