Cripes.  Saw the TV ad for the Amiga last night -- someone trying to imitate
Apple's Mac ads on a low budget.  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!"
