Get a clue. Please. Copperman had nothing to do with hiring or firing of people in R&D. Copperman was President of the US Company. He had no more control of R&D than the President of the German or British companies (in fact, if you consider sales volumes as a measure of marketing influence over R&D, he probably had less). >With 15% cut-backs in the staff at West Chester, it is likely that all of >those people who have been hired from job noticed posted on CSA in the past >year will be fired very soon. Cut backs in the US company don't have anything to do with cutbacks in the engineering companies. Engineering is still hiring more people. Really, you should stop making public comments on things you don't have the slightest knowledge of. > -MB- -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "Don't worry, 'bout a thing.
