Hey! Great job, you advertising-type folks, for the great looking ads in this month's (and last month's) Electronic Musician. Real nice spread, professional looking (more so than the rougher quality "multi-tasking mind" hype), to the point, and yet with diverse topics. I also like they way you managed to fit it in the middle of the audio workstation article. Here's all this interesting high-tech expensive whoop-dee-doo gear, and then, what's this? A cool ad for an affordable Amiga, that can do what? Make sounds. Play 'em. Do video. And animation. Pretty nice! (OK, for the silly wish: could we have a WriteRastLine(rp, x, y, n, buf) subroutine that might effectively replace a whole bunch of WritePixel(rp, x, y, p) calls? And maybe even a WriteRastColumn(...) for spectrogram type stuff. Would there be any benefit in putting it "your" code versus in "our" code? Thanks!) Mike Hall

Yes. There would be a good performance advantage to doing it this way. I believe Dale implemented this for 1.4. I think that he implemented a horizontal and vertical version of the routines.

Real Ditto for the ad in an unexpected (to me, anyway) place: ADWEEK's MARKETING WEEK magazine ... the weekly magazine for those execs doing ads and marketing (hey, I read everything, ok?). Real nice full page ad in the inside front cover telling marketers why they need the Amiga. Nice to see good, focused Amiga ads from Commodore! ..bob

It also mentions that the ad was done with the Amiga. Ali
