They also had a full-page ad for the Amiga 500 in the last issue of
Video magazine.  It showed examples of some of the special effects the
Amiga allows you to add to your home videos.  A reasonably effective
ad, although they don't mention the 2000 at all.  Apparently it's
considered too high-end for video enthusiasts.

At least one video store around here has been advertising the 500.

It seems like they're tackling the niche markets, which is what
analysts have said the Amiga should appeal to ever since the 1000 came
out.
