Scene 1 

(Action opens with our hero sitting next to his bookcase full of 
 encyclopedias, in a stark white room with a desk, and Amiga 500
 and monitor. He's returning to his seat after the last snide
 comment to the hidden announcer. The announcer has decided to get
 a bit of revenge... :)

[Camera circles in a 180 degree overhead arc focal node being the Ami on
 the desk. At the end of the pan, several large shoeboxes full of disks
 are self evident. Hero is frantically pouring through them for a snazzy
 demo.]

Announcer: You seem to be having a problem with your computer. (Smirk)

Hero: Just say the number and let me get back to my Amiga.

Announcer: You could have that entire bookcase of encyclopedias on a single
          disk...

(Camera circles behind Hero, fading back 3')

Hero: Riiiiight... and if I only put on it every 10,000th word, I might
     have room for a picture or two? Just say the number.

A: How about this? [Bookcase de-rezzes and a CDTV player takes its place 
                    on a table next to the desk. Cables whip out from the
                     player and lash onto the Monitor on the desk.]

(As the bookcase dissappears, so do the shoeboxes, and a simple remote
 control appears in kids left hand. Scene reminicent of the MCP's view of
 the first De-rez scene in Tron.)

A: Try it.

H: [Flipping through several of the Encyclopedias commands.] Wow! This is...

A: Now for some real horsepower.

 [Encyclopedia disk slides out, and flips toward camera (Toaster fade). As it
  flips back toward the player, a new scene is revealed]

Scene 2

  [Scene opens with kid, and desk in same position, a rock band is playing
   soundlessly in the backround. CD cartridge is evidently out. A small rack
   system (Note: CHEAP looking.) is now situated above the player. Speakers
   are left and right of player.]

H: [Notices disk out] Here let me help you with this (Snide). [Pushes in 
  CD+G disk. Sound comes out at +10dB to normal loudness. Camera focuses
  in on the action on the monitor.]

A: [Sound lowers.] Now do you want the number? (Smirk)

H: But what about my Amiga?

H: [Keyboard fades in front of the CDTV, disk box returns, and the chair
  at the desk moves in front of player. Hero taps at a few keys experimentally
  and sighs as Lemmings comes up on screen.] So what's the number?

[Scene fades around the monitor to black and camera focuses in on our cute
 moronic friends forming the numbers 1-800-66-AMIGA.]
