      It has been slashed as a percentage of total sales.  For the fiscal
   year 1990, Commodore invested 3.5% of their total sales in research and
   development.  According to Commodore's Third Quarter Report, for the
   first three quarters of fiscal year 1991, Commodore invested 2.2%
   (approximately) of their total sales in research and devlopment.  If
   this is not a slash, I don't know what is.

	Could it be marketing ? Developer support ? We are reading news
	written by Commodore people. Their uucp-net isn't free. You
	have yourself wanted to see changes and now you are surprised
	when the persentages change. It's most imortant that the amount
	of money increases and that it's not wasted.
