Guy walks through futuristic block-like room (looks cheap) and we see a long shot of the Amiga. Comes up to it, hits a key -- and we never see the screen! Just some light that apparently turns him into a 2001/2010 Dave Bowman future-baby. If I wanted people running off the streets for Amiga, I'd show 5 seconds of the graphics demo. THAT'D impress 'em, not this quick 'n dirty excuse for a marketing ploy... "I'm going to have you wrapped in a U.S. flag and burned personally by the President, in high octane American gasoline!"
