Actually, the Apple ad explains how eight major recording studios
use Macintoshes to help produce hit singles. Apple provides a
toll-free number musicians can call to get a video showing how Mac
is used in the professional music world. To me anyways, this was
much more effective than an abstract painting. Especially when the
only other Amiga ads are for MusicX (RSN), and Dynamic Studio
(buggy, slow, poor user-interface, doesn't support multi-tasking).

OK, so the Atari ad WAS hokey... (it suits)
