For the 3rd time this week ? ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH! Marc: as usual, you are confused. This in itself isn't bad, but you always seem to attempt to spread your level of confusion to others. Allow me to attempt to correct your incorrect assumptions; this may help others on the net; not you, unfortuately, as your account only seems to allow posting news, but not reading. Harry Copperman has not, and never has been in charge of R&D funding, hiring people for software or hardware R&D, or R&D in general. Mr Copperman was in direct charge of the US Sales company. Engineering is seperate, and reports to international. This means that his change in job status should not change happenings in R&D. I just realized what your posting remind me of...Remember Emily Latella, from Saturday Night Live ? > AMIGA -- Yesterday's Technology, FOREVER!!! > > > -MB- How about "Usenet: A chance for college students to allow thousands of potential future employers just how much they know." andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
