Guest appearance: AmigaOne X5000 in an ad for hair salons
According to Trevor Dickinson in his latest blog entry, Amiga fan and filmemaker Charles Paek has asked him if A-EON could provide a X5000 for a professional advertising spot for a chain of hair salons as a prop. Of course Dickinson could and therefore the X5000 now can be seen in the latest advertising spot for the US-American "Supercuts" which has 9000 branches. (cg) (Translation: dr)
