Ditto for New Zealand. It's about time CBM woke up and realised what is
happening out here.

We have a video put out by Commodore NZ that waffles on about Developer
and User Group support. We sometimes play this at our user group
meetings, because it always gets a good laugh. These zeros just don't
seem to want to know about developer or user group support. Our current
theory is that this is because they're too embarrassed to admit that
most of the developers and a good portion of the user group memebers
could run rings around their 'technical' staff.

Somebody please do something......
