You're absolutely right, Bob.  We were shown two videos and given a pep talk
by Rich McIntyre (the new VP of Sales and Marketing for the US) at the dealer
presentation on Sunday, the day before COMDEX.  The videos were about 30
seconds long and consisted of a blinding sequence of graphics excerpts from
many of the popular Amiga programs.  They did end with something like 'Only
with the Amiga', but it wasn't quite that.  Unfortunately, I've heard the
phrase several times since COMDEX but STILL can't remember it!  I think 
they should try changing that catch phrase to make it more memorable!

And, they didn't specifically say that these videos would be used on TV
but it was rumored.
