There have been a lot of "Max Headroom"-style ads lately, using lots of
video screens and equipment. Today I noticed one where a guy is in a room
with, yes, a lot of video screens, and then we get a shot of him through
a video camera with crosshairs on the display. It looked suspiciously like
Amiga video (ie the flicker was noticeable), so I kept a close eye on it.

There are a lot of quick shots around the room, with computers that could be
Amigas (not sure if others might be there as well), and also a lot of quick
(almost subliminal) screen shots. Here's the good part -- I'm 99% sure that
one of those instantaneous flashes of computer screens shows an Autorequest
box in the top left corner of the screen! I just hope it wasn't "software
failure... task held" ;-).
