Canada Lines: 50 Yes folks it's true. One boring Sunday afternoon, sitting in front of the TV, he notices ``The Computer Show''. Hmmmm Interesting. Tortures himself with watching a half hour of ( No don't say it ) IBM PC business software being demoed. 8^0 YAWNNNNNN The half hour ends, and I think to myself, what a waste. Disgustingly ( sp??? ) he picks up the remote control and is about to perfrom the infamous flick.flick.flick when out of the corner of his eye he sees a glimmer of Sunshine. In the closing credits, we see something like the following statement: Computer Graphics Created By : Commodore Amiga 2000 Deluxe Paint II Some other stuff.... Why just say some other stuff. Well, the credit was on long enough for me to read just that much of it before it was taken off. 8^( I thought, it figures, the IBM stuff gets all the air time and the Amiga does the real work 8^) 8^) We know where the real power lies!!!!!! A small disclaimer here. The show wasn't as bad as I made it sound. Its audience was obviously the business comunity, and they have had Amiga notes ( Commodore releases 1.3 and the announcement of the Amiga 2500 and the Unix port at COMDEX ). It was just real nice to see the words Computer Graphics Created By : Commodore Amiga 2000 On the screen.
