Commodore's marketing department does have display materials available for
the dealers.  This includes a video tape, ad brochures and signs.  Also, now
that AmigaVision is in the box there will be a sticker on the outside saying
that AmigaVision is included.

There were machines shipped without cards, if you bought an A500P, A2000 series
or A3000 since April 24, 1990 and didn't get a card contact your dealer he
should have one for you.
