[Marco makes some points I agree with]

: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 at a loss as to why CBM has TOTALLY bypassed the Chicago-Milwaukee-
NW Indiana area.  With no less than 13-18 million people in the NE Illinois
tri-state area, CBM is missing a LOT of potential Amiga buyers, especially
in a commercial artsy town like Chicago.   So far (and I've kept in touch
with a good number of people watching for them) there has not been ONE single
sighting of an Amiga ad here in Chicago; print or TV.  I'm at a loss for words
and I feel very down about the whole issue.  So much for all the nice things
I said about C-A to people at work.  They all now think I was on drugs.

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

I suppose they will be left out of the MIDWEST issues :-(
