Well, tonight I saw an Amiga ad on TV.  It was during Star Trek: The
Next Generation (the local station, WDCA, runs earlier seasons' reruns
on weeknights).

If you remember one of the old C64 TV ads, where a young fellow is
interviewing for a job and talking about his high scores on video games
as qualification for a computer job, this ad made me think of that one.
It was definitely promoting the A500 as a smarter alternative to a Nintendo.
And a splendid alternative it makes, I have no argument there.  And I
guess if that old C64 ad worked, this one may work too.  It even used
the same music and announcer.

Well (sigh) I guess I see where the Amiga is going to end up...
