My point was supposed to be less that the ads looked a bit tacky (which
they did) and more that thy didn't have to.

The amiga is perfectly capable of playing next to MTV graphics and looking 
'professional'. It is capable of doing antialiasing. It is capable of doing 
real time anamation of lifelike images (see the newtek demo - 'maxine' headroom
and the swimmer/betty boop stuff in particular) - see the (hmm - what was that 
videodisk game with the guy in armour with the sword etc) demo, which looks damn near as good as a sat morning cartoon. See the output from the TeX previewer.


I think that advertising on MTV is a neat idea; I like the concept. All I think
is that commodore could push their ad agency into fully using the computer.
