Get this: 1) While traveling through Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport, one of their color flight/general info monitors GURU'd in front of me - an out of memory error. I took a picture of the thing, and a few minutes later a second one GURU'd with the same error. I waited around, and eventually a technician came by and radioed to someone to reboot the machines. 2) Coming back from the Windows 3.0 Developer's Seminar, I just got a questionnaire from IBM which was part of a developer incentive program they were doing. In it, the Amiga was mentioned three times, as choices in such questions as: "Who are the leading multimedia players? (Pick 3) "Who will be the leading multimedia players?" "Which Multimedia Computers Do You Develop For?" What a gas. The choices were IBM, Apple, Amiga, DEC, and a host of PC clonemakers. Needless to say, no Atari products were mentioned.
