Thank heavens. I agree with others on the net that CBM must support networking if it expects its high-end machines to sell. CBM will also be advertising in a BIG way over the last quarter of the calendar year. [good news about commercials and dealers deleted] That's it, in brief. This is a _big_ move on CBM's part to really kick the personal computer market in the a**. If what you say is true, this is the best news for Amiga owners and software developers I have heard in a long time. Is it too good to be true to expect Commodore to wake up and act like a real computer company? --M -- Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM
