	I had NO intention of getting into this thread. I thought
I'd read it for the humor content. BUT, you are totally wrong,
and that shouldn't stand.
	Commodore IS having its best quarters in a very long
time. The Christmas quarter (from Oct. 1 -- Dec. 31, 1990) they
had their 3rd largest sales EVER and earnings were tripled from
the prior year quarter.
	The last quarter (Jan. 1 -- Mar. 31, 1991) was also well
above the prior year quarter, with something like a 10% increase
in sales and a large increase in earnings (primarily cause they
were so bad the year before), something like $10 or $11 million.
