YES! Commodore has been extremely active in the
advertising department lately. I've seen ads in
school newspapers, in magazines, and in places
I've never seen Commodore advertise before!

Other good Amiga news: 

In the August, 1990 AmigaWorld (I now have the
issue in front of me)..


	- Inside front cover:

		GVP has announced their Ethernet
		card for the A2000/A3000 series,
		and their Ethernet Box for the 
		A500 series. Supports thick/thin
		Ethernet, comes with support
		software, compat. with DecNet and
		Novell.

	- Page 2:

		AMAX II, Macintosh emulation on-a-
		card for the A2000/A3000, or in a
		plug-in box for the A500. Supports
		hard-drive partitioning, MIDI,
		Macintosh sound, able to read/write
		Mac disks from Amiga drive, two Mac
		serial ports, other features!

	- Page 10:

		"The US Treasury Department's award of
		a 5-year Departmental Microcomputer
		Acquisition Contract (DMAC) to Sears
		Business Systems spells success for key
		subcontractor Commodore...estimated $400
		million deal is Commodore's first victory
		in the federal marketplace.
		  CBM..will offer 68030-based Amiga work-
		stations under the agreement."

	- Applied Engineering announced some neat products
	  throughout the magazine, such as a 1.44 Meg 3.5"
	  drive which "for running the new Amiga UNIX, the
	  AE Standard 1.44 Meg format is a virtual must."

	- Page 51:

		Commodore has an ad for AmigaVision. Looks
		very impressive, gives a toll-free number
		for information. 

All in all, looks good on the Amiga front!
