We have been mentioned favorably!
In this Sunday's Providence Sunday Journal I saw a syndicated column by
Brit Hume of ABC News.  It is a regulare home computer column.  He talks about
the IBM and Apple II (?!?) but then says, "If you're not hooked on an IBM
or Apple already, get an Amiga 500...Shopping around you can get an Amiga 500
with 512K, an 880K 3.5" drive, and a monitor for $850...It's color and sound
blows the doors off anything else...The Amiga now has a good amount of 
business software so you'll be able to get plenty of work done...It has
has a multitasking system..."

He also mentioned how BYTE, in a review of of Multitasking, listed the Amiga
OS as retailing for $1995, convienntly forgetting to mention that the price
includes the computer.
