    Even better, show one guy in an office working on a mac, one in another 
    working on an IBM and yet another working on an amiga.  The commercial 
    shows the guy on the amiga do great graphics and stuff with the powerful
    amiga.  He finishes gets up and leaves and walks by the other guys desks.
    He says good night and one of the others guys go 
    "Boy Frank goes home on time every night"
    the other one say the IBM user goes 
    "I know"
    "But he gets so much done"
    "I know"
    "Wonder how he does it?"
    "beats me"
    Then it pans to the Amiga and says 
    "The Amiga 2000, mastering the posibilities <or other slogan>"

    This could also be done with three guys in a row sitting with their 
    backs to us working on their computers (i.e. the ibm and mac are hardly
    seen behind the people while the amiga is in the open when the first
    guy gets up and leaves).  The above conversation takes place with 
    their backs to us while the camara zooms in on the amiga.


    Just as an aside.  I own an Ami for about roughly forever (I was one of the 
    very first Seattle area owners), but I am not sure the above is actually
    true.  I hate to say it but the reallity is that as a total system 
    (hardware, software, integration, laser printer) the mac person would 
    be the first to get up.  With the Amiga and the IBM guys getting up 
    about the same time.  This DOES NOT mean that the Amiga is SLOWER than 
    the others (i.e. it does process and draw faster).  I'm just say that
    screen resolution and INTEGRATED software wise along with a slightly
    (some would much) easier to use Man-Machine Interface, the MAC gets the
    job done.   I found this out a number of ways having access to both
    machines, but the one test that scared me to death was when I tried to 
    make a map and anouncement to my house (i.e. drawings with text) I had
    a very difficult time doing it on my Amiga and I had no problem doing it
    on the MAC.  (I do not have impact or ageis draw, this may be the problem).

    FLAME REPELLANT ON
    This is not because I dislike the Amiga or because I'm a secrect closet 
    mac lover.  I have just found the mac in general to be quicker and easier
    to use.
