Just received a call from WWE Hall of Famer Mike Rotunda who informed us of the tragic news that our WWE family member for life Windham Rotunda - also known as Bray Wyatt - unexpectedly passed earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and we ask that everyone respect their privacy at this time.

#Commodore ad from The Times Higher Education Supplement; Mar 23, 1990; 907. The focus is clearly on their PC compatibles with a near apology that the Amiga is not "industry compatible".
