   I opened the school newspaper today and, lo and behold what did I see?
Well, I saw a total of two full pages of advertizements for the Macintosh,
but there was also a single full-page ad for the Amiga.  I don't know how
much good it will do for precisely the reasons I stated in my previous 
message, but it is a fair start.

   I have one really BIG peeve with this ad.  It says: "Stop by your
Campus Authorized Amiga Dealer and get your hands on the future of 
computing."  What campus Amiga dealer?  The nearest dealer is 35 miles
off-campus!!!  

   Like I said, this is a fair start, but until Commodore establishes a
good Amiga dealer on-campus or nearby, any future ads will be wasted money.
With the overwhelming on-campus support that Apple and IBM offer, there is
no way that Commodore is going to make any penetration of significance
with the nearest dealer 35 miles away.
