Pariseau) Organization: Commodore-Amiga Inc., 983 University Ave #D, Los Gatos CA 95030 Lines: 44 April 14, 1986 This message marks my first contribution as a "civilian". Yesterday, Commodore began to implement company wide layoffs. The folks at Commodore-Amiga here in California got their notices yesterday. I guess Commodore knew just how little I would support such actions because I got mine in the first wave. I have enjoyed talking with all of you. You are a bunch of wild and wonderful folks. I continue to feel that the cutting edge of this business is available to anyone who'll listen on networks such as this one. I have not yet decided what, if anything, I want to say regarding the events that just occurred or my opinions as to what they imply for Commodore and for the Amiga computer. It will take me a while to sort out my feelings. Regardless of that, I don't expect to be out of action long. Maybe I'll start another company. Many people have suggested that I write a book ("Amiga Dearest"? -- no, I suppose not). Know any good publishers? But frankly, my main love is still the technology. I want to be where quality people are pushing beyond the "edge of the art". Engineers with vision are still the best, the most forthright, and most fundamentally interesting people I know. The vision that brought you the Amiga computer still lives. ---------------- I don't expect to be back on this network for quite some time.
