I was just watching a movie during prime time here in Canada and saw
a commercial for the Atari 520 ST. The ad claimed that the 520 is twice
as powerful as most business macnines and had great graphics and games.
The ad was very well do although they did seem to want to cram a lot
into a 30 second spot. Now why would a company that a lot of people claim
is dying all of a sudden spend lots of money producing spiffy ads, it just
doesn't make sense.

Just thought I would throw my 2 cents worth in.
