On Tuesday Bill Machrone from PC magazine was a guest on NBC's Today.
He showed some of the current crop of home oriented pc products.
I watched as the Tandy with CD was shown, the PS/1, some portable, and
then, unbelievably considering the source, the A500!
To the average viewer the Tandy probably seemed the most amazing but
Deborah Norvile gushed that the "Amiga was her favorite."
What possessed Machrone to bring an Amiga is beyond me. He will
probably be hearing from his advertisers!
This kind of exposure adds a legitimacy that no ad could.

Our PR agency got things started, and I tied up the details with a
dealer in NY (Amagination) that very generously helped out. I'm
kinda proud of this one... :-)

As Bill spoke of $2000 for this one and $6000 for that one, it was nice
to hear "and this one is under $500" or something similar...
