With great anticipation I waited to see the fantastic ad campaign that CBM had finally put together. Thinking that finally the Amiga was going to become a recognized name to millions of potential users I sat down in front of the TV waiting for the first ad to show. Monday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show...... I did see a slick ad for IBMs OS/2, one for Epson, and one for Apple. But no ads from CBM. Tuesday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show...... Lots of bad sitcoms. But no ads from CBM. Wensday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show...... More bad sitcoms and my projects were starting to get behind schedule..... But no ads from CBM. Thursday night I sat waiting for the first ad to show..... But no ads from CBM. Then on a local BBS I find out that the Orlando area will NEVER see any of the CBM ads because Orlando apparently is not BIG enough. :-( If this is true I wonder how CBM plans on hitting 92% of the adult population with 20 or more ads by Christmas time? What other sections of the country are being kept in the Amiga blackout zone? I hope that someday Orlando becomes big enough to get some attention from CBM, like say, IBM, Epson, and Apple gives. [whew! I feel a little better now, thank you!] -- _ /// /_\ Scot L.
