$On Tuesday Bill Machrone from PC magazine was a guest on NBC's Today.
$He showed some of the current crop of home oriented pc products.

$What possessed Machrone to bring an Amiga is beyond me.  He will 
$probably be hearing from his advertisers!

Our PR agency got things started, and I tied up the details with a
dealer in NY (Amagination) that very generously helped out.  I'm
kinda proud of this one... :-)

$This kind of exposure adds a legitimacy that no ad could.

As Bill spoke of $2000 for this one and $6000 for that one, it was nice
to hear "and this one is under $500" or something similar...
