Perhaps greed doesn't warrant the death penalty, but they could
certainly use to be booted. I might add, however, that Apple is
not free from the same practices at the upper levels of its own
management, yet they are doing quite well. The difference is that
Apple's management seems to get work done and Commodore's doesn't.

The A3000, when and IF it comes out, had better be pretty darned
impressive. I bought an A1000 almost as soon as the machine became
available because I was impressed with the technology and price.
As the years have gone by, I find that the Amiga has not kept pace
with changes in computer technology to the extent that the Macintosh
and PC have; consequently, what once was a huge lead in innovation
has narrowed to a rapidly shrinking, not-so-big gap. I have no
loyalty to Commodore as a company--if somebody else came along with
a better machine at a comparable price, I would move to it, and I
think many other Amiga users would, too, though I cannot speak for
others.

The clock is ticking for the Amiga. Somebody had better wake up.
