That type of sales policy (buying quota) is fine if you've already
established yourself.  Despite it's age, CBM still hasn't really gotten
entrenched, except for the C64 and the Pet.  When Apple says, "Buy 10 Macs
a month or you lose your dealership!", and you've been selling five a month,
you increase your emphasis on Mac sales.  When Commie says the same thing
about the Amiga, and you've been selling 10 every SIX months, you
regretfully request that they take back you stock.  CBM should be wooing
dealers, not driving them away!
