I was thumbing through the latest issue of MIX magazine and what to
my suprise, I came across this fantastic 2 page ad for the Commodore
Amiga on pages 26 and 27. THe theme of this ad is that the AMiga
works like a musician thinks (in Multi-Task Mode). The tag line is
"The computer that works like the mind of a musician". The artwork
is of the A500 with a photo of an A2000 in the lower corner.
Whoever designed this ad did an excellent job.
For those of us who have been wondering where C-A's ads have been
just haven't been looking at the right magazines I guess.
To those of you I met at Ami-Expo Greetings and I hope to
see you at other gatherings soon. Also thanks to the two
people who loaned us their brand new external drives for the
copy session. I wouldn't have believed that my 1 MEG A500 could
drive 3 (that's right 3) external floppies. To that unknown
person who put my power supply together Great work! :-)
Nice meeting you Kjohn and CB.

They also had a full-page ad for the Amiga 500 in the last issue of Video magazine. It showed examples of some of the special effects the Amiga allows you to add to your home videos. A reasonably effective ad, although they don't mention the 2000 at all. Apparently it's considered too high-end for video enthusiasts. At least one video store around here has been advertising the 500. It seems like they're tackling the niche markets, which is what analysts have said the Amiga should appeal to ever since the 1000 came out. -- "BIZARRE!

Maybe next time. At least I knew where the Captains' Walk was. KJohn, I did see you there about 10 or fifteen times on the exhibition floor but you were always moving about 50 mph.
