Not sure about (1), but (2) is something Gilles said he was doing, (3) is already happening here and there, and (4) is something Gilles said he intended to do.

They are headed "Amiga AXXXX Multimedia" and the only other words on the face of the leaflet are "Animation, Video, Multitasking". The back of the A1200 leaflet emphasises value for money and the point that games and productivity software for the Amiga costs less, which is ambiguous because it is a compound statement. Besides, it is not entirely true these days, and getting less true all the time. The back of the A4000T leaflet emphasises true multitasking. "Really?" says Mr Joe Public to Mr Shop Assistant "So what's that then?" "Ah…" says Mr Shop Assistant. "Er…" The backs of both leaflets also feature the slogan: "Amiga computers for people who want more than just a PC". "Oh," says Mr Joe Public to Mr Shop Assistant after reading the slogan. "So how much is a PC then?" "Ah…" says Mr Shop Assistant. "Er…" Jeff Walker, JAM magazine jwalker@cix.compulink.co.uk
