58.0. "The Computer Show, new time, Amiga 2000" by LDP::WEAVER (Laboratory Data Products) Mon Apr 25 1988 20:19

    I happened to be flipping the channels last night and ran accross
    "The Computer Show" on channel 27, airing Sunday nights from
    10-11PM.  This show used to be on Tuesday nights, in case you were
    wondering where it went (I was).
    
    Anyway, they said that the president of Commodore is going to be
    there next week (May 1st) with an Amiga 2000.  It will be interesting
    to see how his presentation compares with the one Sam Tramiel did
    with the Mega ST.

	Yeah, I wonder if Kevin Strahlo will be as rude to Max Toy as he was to Trameil? It was interesting to watch the host treat John Sculley with reverence after seeing him interrupt Trameil at every opportunity. It was also fun to watch Jean Louis-Gassee of Apple hang the Mac II a few times. Kevin Strahlo coyly asked 'Is this thing shipping yet?"

	semi-live demos are always fun. I remember Kevin's comments of behind-the-scene elves doing things while Sam T. and him waited for the ST to be switched from demoing CAD-3D to demoing some hi-res monochome program. I've also thought the phone-in segment was even better than Kevin's comments. They can ask any sort of rude, biased, naive, question - that's a great test of how fast you can think up a diplomatic answer. And no demo to hide behind. I loved the pro-Amiga questions asked of ibmpc software and hardware developers... that bewildered look of "what's an Amiga?". At least they won't soon forget that experience. -dave

	RE .0 The Computer show is on from 10:30 - 11:00 on sunday nights not 10-11. They cut the length so they can move the show into other station around the country. With it they cut things like the phone in segment 8-(. Bill Powers

	I dunno, I think they dropped the phone-in segment shortly after one caller asked the female host if she had ever had sex on live television. Ed. PS: She never answered the question...guess we'll never know.
