In this week's (Nov 9) issue of Fortune there is a print ad from
Commodore.  It looks pretty nice and (wonders of wonders) is not buried
in the back of the magazine, but is instead in a very prominent place.
It fills page 17, which is right in the middle of News/Trends --
the section that I, at any rate, always read first.

The ad focuses on desktop publishing and desktop video, in particular
touting color, video titling, and slide presentations.  Interestingly
enough, the bridge card and IBM compatibility was never mentioned.
Instead the ad has a picture of the Juggler captioned "MultiTasking".
I figure that with all the talk about OS/2 these days, multitasking
may be more of a buzzword then compatibility.

Anyways, its a lot more sophisticated then smoke veils :-)
