I thought i'd start a thread that would test two of the features of Amiga.org Beta.

1) Thread embedded polls

2) Embedded videos.

Vote away. :)

I think it really depends also on your location. In Canada (home of Commodore) other than all the C64 ads, you didn't see any on TV (except the very rare, odd one for the A500) piped in from the US, IF you were lucky to have cable. There was nothing for anything else, No CDTV, No CD32, No A600, 1200, nothing.

You are right. I think Commodore got all their marketing wrong.

But it's all so distant now.

Lame ad.

Jay was right, just put a PC next to an Amiga, run a demo, case closed.
