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!]
