But, the second day, everybody except the booth bimbos at Commodore looked haggard, but
their machine was showing a bouncing checkered beach ball. And it was bouncing faster than
Atari's!
Yes, you have them mixed up. Amiga had the bouncing beach ball, with sound.
Atari had nothing.
Than, the juggler demo on amiga came out, and nobody ever talked about
atari & graphics again :)
