Hey, Commodore.  No matter what you do, someone will tell you it sucks.

I, for one, thought the ads I saw were darn neat.  Commodore has done
_exactly_ what everyone has been suggesting they do for years.  And
people still complain.

These ads play against Nintendo and Sega commercials.  MTV's own graphics
do _not_ overshadow these ads.  These are short, dynamic, and flashy peeks
at the Amiga that make you want to see more.

I think they'll help in reaching that 1,000,000 figure by xmas...
