   Copperman has done quite a job in turning Commodore U.S. around in the
past year.  Commodore still has problems, but fewer than it did a year 
ago.  Unfortunately, the Commodore subsidiaries in other countries are
still stuck in the mud.  

   I say that the Commodore board ought to find a way to get rid of 
Irving Gould, and make Copperman the president, CEO, and Chairman of the
Board of Commodore International, Ltd.  This would allow him to turn 
all of Commodore around, and not just the US subsidiary.
