If any line eaters still exist, you can avoid them by starting your article
against the left column -- e.g. don't use a TAB or SPACE as the first
character of the article.  Newline doesn't count; you'll still have to
obey these rules if you put newlines at the front of your article.

But the real point of this article...

During Comdex, Commodore (there is no more C-A as we knew it) showed some
pretty neat looking graphics demos, flipping through each one really fast.
Someone called them "blip-verts" they were moving so fast (no, nobody
exploded at the show).

Anyway, they reportedly looked like they would become TV commercials.
Also, they kind of showed the multi-functionality and versatility of
the machine, then ended with a graphic that said:

			Only with the Amiga.

or something pithy like that.  Reports I heard (I was not at Comdex)
said the ads were quite good and pretty effective.

Maybe Gary Samad could tell us more?
