Oh no! It's recursion! I really don t see why you go out of your way insulting a company, simply because you don t like the way their computer is marketed. That is even more incomprehensible since Commodore s advertising has turned pretty respactable in the last 8 months. I think that what is lacking in Commodore is a larger commitment to R&D, a five fold increase would put Commodore up to par with other high-tech companies. If I were you, I would spend more time making intelligent suggestions rather than insulting the Engineers that volounteer their time on this net. > It's unfortunate that a computer as fine as Amiga would have to be "marketed" > through a joke of a company.

Unfortunately, Hewlett Packard has decided to buy out Apollo instead; their CASE software was rather lacking. But I would not be surprised if indeed HP thought of buying out Commodore. By now, the West Chester offices are probably filled with the same type of ingenious, team-work players that filled the Los-Gatos offices before. I would not be surprised to see HP hunt down these West Chester Engineers and Computer Scientists the same way they hunted down the Los Gatos people.
