    OOOOOOOOOOOOOO......... I smell a MAJOR marketing opportunity here.
 
"Amiga - Computers for the Olympic Mind"
"Amiga - Winner of the 1996 Olympics"
A case story of Mike Sinclair developing the demos in an ad.

    If we could secure the animations to be done during and FOR the 1996 
Olympics, the publicity would be invaluble.

    So what will it be CBM??? Will we drop the ball on this one?? Or will
Mr. Copperman form a team to secure as much of the Olympics grpahics as 
possible. (Sounds like a good way to get marketing off of its ___)
 
    A runner carrying a torch up to steps to light the Olympic flame, sounds 
like a job for Animation Journeyman. A spinning textured Olympic logo zoooming
up from a map of Georgia, Toaster and Lightwave 3D territory.

 (If someone would ship me a fast Amiga with the above SW/HW I will design the 
  above GRATIS and ship it all back )


    Commodore, pleeeeaseeeeee don't drop the ball on this one.
