There has been talk in the "Journal" about Chapter 11.  This is not all
bad for CBM.  Many a company has come out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy
in good shape.  

I never was a big supporter of Commodore, but I believe they are turning
into a "real" computer company (128, Amiga, etc).  I am certain that CBM
will be around in one form or another for MANY years.  And if their current
philosphy continues, they should be a dominate force in several markets.  I 
suspect we will be seeing CBM products quite superior to IBM, Apple, etc.
in the home/small business market of the future.
