Does make you kinda sick doesn't it. Its this kind of misrepresentation that
slows amiga in the commercial market. I really wish Amiga would renew their
ad campaign. Macintosh is now running several commercials featuring their
system. Ibm has and still is doing the same (ps/1). I think it is time for
Amiga to start running a few of their own. I have heard rumors about them, but
I have yet to see any. 

Luckily that is only a SMALL LOCAL newsletter.
