I was just at Tower Records here in Boston, where I saw the semi-famous "MUSIC SAMPLER" (I think I remember reading about it in Time Magazine or something.) Although it didn't say exactly how it worked, I'm pretty sure there was an Amiga inside there somewhere. Some DELUXE-PAINT-like graphics gave it away. The deal with this is, there is a touch screen with areas of interest (INSTRUMENTAL, COUNTRY/WESTERN, TOP 40, HARD ROCK) that you can touch and go to screens which take you one by one through some "selected" albums. Touch the album, and you get your choice of three songs/cuts from the album, touch one of these and you get to hear it, along with seeing a nice little "slide show" of pictures of the singer. Impressive digitized pictures! And lots of them, too! But that's not all, could it be that the music I heard was actually all digitized sound? Anyway, look out for this next time you visit Tower Records. Long live the Amiga! *%#@$*&!&*%#@$*&!&*%#@$*&!&*%#@$*&!&*%#@$*&!&*%#@$*&!&*%#@$*& *&@!&*%#@ &*%#@%#@$ &*%#@$*&@ Evan A.
