Greetings one and all! Here is your chance... the chance you have always wanted! I know that I have always wished to have a say in 'advertising' of our favorite computer. So here is the deal: Video Computer Resources in Chesapeake Virginia has arranged for 18 months of billboard advertisements. We are actively seeking opinions and slogans for this advertising. We are already considering "Life is too short for boring computers: Amiga by Commodore" and possibly "If you insist on paying $10,000 for 68030 technology may we humbly suggest you buy 3 Amiga 3000s.". Of course the dealership will seek all the proper permissions to use the Amiga trademark. It should not be too difficult, afterall Commodore authorized us to use the Amiga trademark as our store sign. :-) This is your chance to influence advertising. Send mail to manes@vger.nsu.edu and I will post the ones we select. We are allowed to change the billboard four times. -mark= +------------------------------------------------------+ ///// | Mark D.

The punters might know what you do and where you are then. Regards Alan
