I have unwittingly ignored all of the very talented people who are no longer officially involved with Commodore-Amiga. In my reply, I talked about duplication of services, etc. But I did not mention that many of those people who were let go provided a unique service for (the) Amiga, and for whom there is no counterpart at West Chester. It is a shame that Commodore feels they no longer needed these people, they will be missed. To all of you who have helped me, and the rest of the West Chester support group, thanks! I am sure many of you will continue to be involved in the future of the Amiga, one way or another. I wish you all the best of luck! ****Commodore employee badge -- ON**** We will all continue on the best we can. -- + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Randy Weiner -- Commodore Business Machines <> uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|caip}!cbmvax!randy arpa: cbmvax!randy@seismo (or) randy@cbmvax.UUCP@{seismo | harvard} TEL: 215-431-9180
