Well, Commodore was back at CES for the first time in a few years.  They were
not showing the A3000 there, because it would attract too much attention.  They
said they were concentrating on getting the A500 out to the consumer market
and were looking to mass-retailer chains.  They had a fairly large exhibit
with Amiga 500's, limited edition 2500's, 64C's, and their IBM clones.

An interesting product was at CES, which I read in an Amiga magazine was developed
on an Amiga was the LYNX by Atari.  It is a handheld color, stereo 16-bit sound
LCD portable game system for $180.  Embarrasingly, the games for it are better than
99% of Amiga's games.  But, I don't think you'll be seeing Dragon's Lair for it 
soon.
