I'm taking a course here at SUNY-Binghamton called "History of the Future."
Today's topic was all about the world economy, and how multi-national
corporations (MNCs) are really quite powerful in world economies (and thus
world politics).

The professor gave us a whole list of statistics comparing the GNP/per capita
of a few countries and the profit of some MNCs.  Here's the few that I thought
were interesting:

	IBM:	(The 4th largest corporation in the world.)
		They make as much money as BANGLADESH and PAKISTAN
		PUT TOGETHER.

	GE:	Makes more more money than all of EGYPT.

	AT&T:	Makes more money than either PORTUGAL or PERU.

So.  Just where does Commodore-Amiga stand?
