- Definitely - advertising on signs in the subway wouldn't be a bad start,
- television would be excellent, especially (as someone here thought up) during
- Babylon 5.

- I agree - CompUSA would be an excellent carrier, but CBM really needs to
- include some store demos with their shipped machines so that people can
- experience some of the neat things the machines can do right there. Interactive
- demos done in SCALA would be really nice. AmigaVision would be far too slow to
- impress anyone.
