	Actually, the Lynx was designed by Epyx (R.J. was working for them at
the time of its inception.)  CBM had nothing to do with the Lynx design, other
than the fact that CBM owns the rights to a machine that the Lynx designers had
a hand in producting.  In an interview in Info (I forget the issue) R.J.
explains that the Lynx was offered to Commodore FIRST when it became clear that
Epyx couldn't do it alone.  CBM didn't want it.
