Alright then, if BADGE can sponsor a Killer Demo contest, then why doesn't
C-A or their Ad firm (Sleepy, Dopey, and Pokey) get on the stick with a 
Killer Ad contest?  We have assembled here some of Amigas finest minds, people
who can make the machine jump through hoops (or in Leo's Case, unicycles).

Barring that, what about the ad company bouncing some ideas off us?

I'm not so egotistical as to suggest we are the ultimate experts, but we
ARE pretty close when it comes to ideas of what's looking sharp on the 
Amiga machine.

It may be that C-A just isn't budgeting the bucks for ads.  Timeslots on 
major networks for big shows like Max Headroom, Star Trek, Cosby show
(wouldn't that be ironic? Texas Instrument Joke).  If so the Ad people
may have the ideas but are hamstrung in implementing 'em.   Well???
