Screen shot with boring green screen. List of numbers scrolling (slowly past). voice says "Not an IBM" as the screen is pulled down to reveal. Boring mac type screen (actually workbench with colours set to monochrome). Shows two d graph (also monochrome). Voice says "not a macintosh" screen pulls down to show whizzy, animated , 3 d , colour graph. Voice " the amiga 2000" -- Alternatively, show bogus IBM database, slightly less bogus mac database, and microfiche filer (or whatever it's called) on the amiga screen instead of the graphs. P.S. CBM - is there in fact a hardware bug in the A2000 which has halted shipments (this is what a certain supplier which will remain nameless till I see whether they deserve flamage tried to suggest to me.) or is it just an inventory problem?
