   "Professional workstations", eh? "We can't really sell that many systems so
   we'll redefine our market segment to make us look good". Fine, then we'll
   just define a market segment that includes the Amiga and excludes most of Apple
   and IBM, and get results like these:

	   Sales of personal workstations:

		   IBM:		0
		   Apple:		2000
		   NeXT:		8000
		   Commodore:	1,000,000


Yeah, Commodore is #1.  Now when will I be able to run Word Perfect
and Lotus(or Excel or Wingz or any big name spreadsheet) on it?
