Yes Virginia there actually used to be print adverts for the Amiga in the US!

I can remember spotting a few Amiga ads outside of the Amiga press. They were rare, but there...  Ya know, at one time there were more amiga magazines than amiga users left now. ;-) OK, I exagerate a little there. ;-)

The legend has it (according to Amigaworld's "history of the amiga" video) that the Los Gatos crew picked those colors because they were most legible on TV sets through the antenna connection.... they went out and looked for the crappiest TVs they could find to make sure the WB was usuable even there. Personally, I never used an Amiga on a TV. even the composite on a monitor was annoying....
