Perhaps some people remember, Commodore Germany has sponsored for years the football (I'm speaking of 'real' football :-) team of Bayern Muenchen, one of the top European teams. But this is past. Today Commodore Germany only sponsors an ice-hockey team in the first league and perhaps some volleyball (sp?) team. For some time even the German national volleyball team played with Commodore stickers! -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
