	Cause IBM could spend as much money as Commodore earns
all year doing ads, without flinching. In fact, they probably do.
Commodore's profits are beginning to come back up, but don't
forget that Commodore has a reasonable sized debt they might want
to clean up, and lots of pressings needs in R&D, sales AND
marketing. Money is spread REAL thin when you only have $50
million in earnings to play with. 8)
