There is a short article on the Amiga 500 in the New York Times today
(Tuesday, March 8th).  The article is your basic "look at this computer"
type of article.  He mentions Workbench, the Say command, windows, etc.
He doesn't rag on the Amiga for this or that, but takes the even-headed
attitude of "don't worry if things seem confusing; it's just because you've
got a powerful tool" which is refreshing.

He mentions Multi-Tasking "which may seem like a gimmick at first, but you'll
eventually wonder how you lived without it."!  The next article will focus
on programs for the 500.  Great to see the NYT doing this!
