	Well, the Amiga ad just appeared in Columbia's paper, the
spectator. Despite some comments by one of the less respected
forum members, the large amount of copy doesn't lower the effect.
Since it is a full-page ad there is more than enough room for
large pictures/text and copy. There is an A3000/A1950 with a
shark coming out of the screen. Then in large text next to it the
text says, 'MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. AMIGA. MEET THE FUTURE OF
CREATIVE THINKING.'
	The only realy change I would make is get rid of the
t-shirt picture and enlarge the print on that last paragraph,
which I think is great.
	"Sure, some people buy what's standard. But we think you
can make up your own mind, and choose your own best course for
the future. After all, isn't that what college is all about?"
	Considering, according to the spectator, a full page ad
costs $1,000, and about 8-10 ads have been scheduled, I think the
doubts that Commodore is putting its money where its mouth is
should be dispelled completely.
