	You don't understand WHY it bothers us that 3/4 are in
Europe. In America the Amiga is considered a joke by most
"business/professional" people. Most people don't know Commodore
makes any professional machines and most think that Commodore is
going bankrupt. That won't change unless CBM can start selling
more machines in this country. When we see 3/4 of all sales in
Europe we worry that Commodore will treat people from the US as
second class by giving up on this country.
