I happened to be wandering through the family room the other day, and stopped
to see what the kids were watching.
They were watching some sort of kids "game show" on Nickelodian. They were
at the final "lightning round", where for each correct answer, they get
another prize. The grand prize was a trip to Universal Studios, Florida,
where the Nickelodian studios are located.
The next highest prize was.....an Amiga 500!!!!
Sounds like CBM marketing is starting to catch on!

Yeah baby. Five years later, and on Nickelodian. Time to send all
those gloom and doom people who said Commodore wouldn't make it, back
in 1986 their "I was wrong button".

On 'Hard Copy' the other day, they had a story of people in the homemade porno business. When we saw "genius at work in the control room" reflecting on the virtues and spitiual health of home porno, there were a couple of C= 1084s clearly visible in the background. See Mike, you would have a use for the Amiga-Toaster. You could show the world just what kind of guy you are! :) NCW
