I agree that Commodore should not be forced to take up the entire load of supporting the Amiga themselves. However, there is a big difference between doing too much and doing too little, and I believe that Commodore right now is doing too little. What will it take to satisfy me in this respect? I would be totally satisfied with Commodore if they raised their R&D investing so that it is on-par with the rest of the computer industry. I really shouldn't be satisfied with this, because Commodore really needs to invest more than the other companies in the industry, both to make up for years of under-investing and to rise above the mediocre average of what every other company invests. > >> Reply-To: Rostyslaw Jarema Lewyckyj >> urjlew@ecsvax.UUCP , urjlew@unc.bitnet >> or urjlew@uncvm1.acs.unc.edu (ARPA,SURA,NSF etc. internet) >> tel.
