(At least I think it was Time.)

Anyway, I opened up my latest issue of Time yesterday and saw a long
multipage ad for the Amiga line of computers.  It even had Gilman Louie,
of Spectrum Holobyte, in it!!!

I don't want to get into the Advertising discussion, since just about
everything possible has been said.  However, It made me realize how
invisible the ST line is to the general public.

"No mam, not the XT, the ST.  No, it's a computer, not a video game.
No, it runs *T*OS, not *D*OS.  <You get that look.  You know the one.
"Oh that's nice."  And you change the subject.>

cheers,
