	I've only been reading this group for a few weeks, but I don't 
see the point in censoring Marc.  All he has done (that I've seen) is
post some opinions that are a little too strong, and not mainstream.  

The original "Top Management" message may have been worded a bit too strongly,
but it illustrates why CBM has been prone to massive failure.  If CBM put
16M into Advertising, why is it I can't find an add in any of the
big (Infoworld, UNIXweek, PCmagazine, PC World, PC Week, MAC week) 
magizines ?  The Amiga is an excellent personal system which suffers from
an image problem, and wasting an advertising campain on current Amiga
Users (where else did it go ?) was not the way to become legit.

	Sorry if I stepped on any toes, but I'm having trouble making up
my mind on buying an Amiga, Atari, 386, or a Macintosh.  I don't want 
to buy another computer which gets dumped (like my first the TI-994a).
I hope CBM gets it all togather, because everyone is closing in on their 
niche.  Unfourtunatly, in the buisiness, only IBM can work a miracle, and
get credit for it :)
