- I like this idea a lot. As a matter of fact, I had thought of the same
- concept and wondered why nobody else had. A great National Ad Campaign
- could be done with a small amount of money from all the NA Dealers, SMG
- and AT combined. I hope they will see the value of this and move in this
- direction, even if we are only talking about Magazine Ads at first, and TV
- spots later.
-
- I understand Tandy is carrying Amigas in Europe... Any knowledge if they
- intend to carry them in NA (Incredible Universe, Computer City, or even
- Radio Shack?)??
-
- Some advertising HAS to be done. Or we might as well give up right now.
- I hope that this pooled money idea will be jumped on and a successful,
- if small at first, Ad campaign will be started. Whoever has the position
- or connections to encourage this to get going, please encourage it!!
