This is great!  I noticed yesterday that their stock price is 
approaching $20/share.

Gould's a twit.  Quote of the year two or three years ago from
him was, "I don't use computers."  How can a Canadian citizen
who lives in Nassau, Bahamas most of the time (to avoid paying
US taxes) manage a US company when he's in the country only
2/5 of the time?  (Check a back issue of Forbes from a couple
years ago.)

It is truly a credit to Commodore's designers that the Amiga is
still around in spite of Gould's gross mismanagement of the
company.

Just my $.02..
