- Unfortunately, this is more of the (un)marketing skills of CBM in the
- U.S. - instead of refuting this in the media (here's the outline of the
- commercial...Amiga 4000 next to a Dos-box...announcer giving a quiz -
- "Which computer has had multi-media capabilities since 1985, computer A
- or Computer B? (Of course, the Amiga is 'A'.) Everyone at home says
- "B!" - announcer says, "The correct answer is "A - as in Amiga".")
