	There's been a lot of talk about Commodore buying other
companies to make their products, such as Marc's comments about the
Digital Animation's transputer. My problem with this is: what's wrong
with third party hardware? Commodore doesn't have to make everything.
I would rather see Commodore focus on a more limited range of products
such as the 3000, 1.4, Unix and future versions of same, rather than
make this and that here and there. Commodore only has just so much
money. Let Commodore spend that money doing what they do best: making
Amigas.
	BTW, I don't know that much about this transputer. Before we
praise it as our saviour, I think we need to know how good it is. Has
anyone seen it actually doing real tests? The last word I had was that
the company lied about who was actually supporting it.
