	Nigel, implicit in this line of postings is that the people
	are complaining about the magnitude of the bonus.  If the 
	bonuses were $1K, would there be complaints?  If not, then
	you are complaining magnitude, ie "too much".

	If you folks are really that worked up over this, then do
	us all a favour: stop posting and go buy some Commodore stock.
	Vote your position, don't try to convince me.  I happen to
	believe in capitalism and part of that belief is that people
	get compensated for hard work or wise decisions.  The bonuses
	that were paid are surely the result of one or the other as
	they've landed themselves into a situation where such bonuses
	are possible.  Right?
