"Okay folks at Atari (I know you're out there) here's an idea for ST
"advertising.
"
"In all of the interminable up-close-and-personal features ABC ran during
"the Olympics, there was one on Debi Thomas, figure skater and pre-med
"student using her computer.  Well, look at that, it's an Atari ST
"(looks like a 1040).
"
"Now, this would have been better if Debi had won the gold, but she is
"a role model, not only as a skater but as a student, and if you want
"to show the ST as a serious computer, maybe sell a few to college
"students, she sounds like a perfect spokesperson to me...and she
"already chose the machine!
"
"Just an idea.

	Debi's brother teaches math at the same high school where my Mom is
librarian.  He likes Debi's ST so much, he's planning on getting one himself.
How about a team ad?  Sounds like a perfect match.

	While we're at it, Debi's Mom could be in there to.  I met her once at
the computer store I work for.  She is a very pleasant, articulate person.
Besides, she gave Debi some ST software for Christmas!
