The big part of the add was showing that the amiga was a fast enough machine for Turbo Pascal to run on, and at one point stated that with Turbo Pascal "the Amiga doesn't dawdle. In fact, Amiga's speed is going to be a headache, a heartache and a headwind to the competition." They also announced that they were going to be the "exclusive Pascal programming language for Commodore's new Amiga." Too bad this never was more than vaporware. -Todd
