But the question is "Would a potential buyer *WANT* to know much more about the machine than (s)he knew originally?" If so, then the ads are a success. Let's remember that there is no way to cram "The Amiga Companion" (hope Rob doesn't mind) into a 60 second ad. The ad is just there to build a bit of interest. The dealers have the responsibility explaining and selling the product. (And *HOW* I wish we had a local dealer in the area!) --- Cal // Cal Jones - Internet: or \X/ BBS: 904-243-6219 1200-9600HST 340Meg, all Amiga --------------------------------------------------------------------- NW Florida's first Amiga BBS running on NW Florida's FIRST AMIGA!
