Oh, the US branch knows very well what's going on, but the market
characteristics are VERY different. Here in Europe (and especially
in Germany), Commodore is able to make some money also with selling
MS-DOS PCs. We are actually number 2, directly competing with IBM,
when we count number of machines. But the PC market in USA is quite
different, thus it is quite another story for Commodore USA to get 
a comparable impact there.

Besides, we're selling also many Amigas and, yes, still many C64's :-)
