G'day,
Just thought I'd throw my 2 peneth in……

Nooooooooo! I much prefer the multicoloured tick myself. It implies "Can
do". Everytime someone fills out a checklist they will be using an Amiga
symbol. "Can this computer……" Tick! Yes it can!
The ball just implies "Balls!". "Can this computer……" Balls! 🙂
I would also add:
7. Realistic pricing. Video profesionals will buy an Amiga no matter what the
cost. Mr. and Mrs. Average computer enthusiast will not.

Sam,
I agree. And Video Profesionals are not the people that buy a lot of
computers. Mr. and Mrs. average are the ones we needed to sell a lot of
Amigas. Else the Amiga will be nothing more than a Toaster machine (until
someone puts out OldTek).
<<Video professionals will buy an Amiga no matter what the cost>>
True, but we certainly wouldn't mind paying less either! :->
After all, if we could buy anything regardless of cost, I guess it'd be
SGI, but the reason ourselves and others have Amigas is because a decent
suite of tools is thousands less than SGI.

Perhaps, but only if there was software at ANY cost that we need to do the job.
I use my Amiga in my sign business. I sincerely doubt there is sign cutting
software available for it at all.

Of course you're correct, Larry. I was speaking of the video market.
Incidentally, what software do you use for sign cutting?
Trent/ReAnimators
I use SignEngine for sign cutting. It's pretty good, but could use some work.
