Get this:

1) While traveling through Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, one of their
   color flight/general info monitors GURU'd in front of me - an out
   of memory error. I took a picture of the thing, and a few minutes
   later a second one GURU'd with the same error. I waited around, and
   eventually a technician came by and radioed to someone to reboot the
   machines.

2) Coming back from the Windows 3.0 Developer's Seminar, I just got a
   questionnaire from IBM which was part of a developer incentive program
   they were doing. In it, the Amiga was mentioned three times, as choices
   in such questions as: "Who are the leading multimedia players? (Pick 3)
   "Who will be the leading multimedia players?" "Which Multimedia Computers
   Do You Develop For?" What a gas. The choices were IBM, Apple, Amiga, DEC,
   and a host of PC clonemakers. Needless to say, no Atari products were
   mentioned.

Rah!
