Despite the fourth quarter loos, Commodore Int'l still has a profitable year.
With a net income of $1.59/share, it seems to me that Commodore International
is actually doing good!
 
By the way, here is a bit info from the annual report for those who didn't see
it:
	Amiga sales now account for 45% of company's revenue, C64C/C128D for
31% and PC for 24%.  The major sales territory is still in Europe which
accounts for 69%, 24% in North America (it means US is even less!), and 7%
in Australia and Far East (where?).  The best quarter for CBM for last fiscal
year is the second quarter (from 10/1/88 to 12/31/88) which the income is
$1.2 per share compared with $0.69 per share in fiscal 1988, 2nd quarter.
It means Christmas is the best time for Amiga, with the new ad campaign,
the Amiga should be hot in this Christmas!

A penny-worth info:
"The latest addition to the Amiga 2000 series is the Amiga 2500UX... features
a 100 MB hard drive and a 25 MHz, 32-bit Motorola 68030 processor..."
 
Wow!!!  It doesn't mention the A3000.  But if A2500UX comes with 25 MHz '030
in the CPU slot, that means the A3000 is going to be a 32-bit machine!!!
 
"Government applications include the utilization of the Amiga in a range of
mission - critical assignments by the U.S. Department of Defense."

The 1989 Commodore Internation Annual Report was designed and produced with
Amiga 2500 and PC 40-III.  Digi-View Gold, Digi-Paint 3, Deluxe Paint III,
Professional Draw, and Professional Page.
