Refer to article from Eric Green speaking of Colonel Video, Federated,
and other claimed screw-ups by Commodore Sales.  The following remarks
are posted on behalf of Don Reisinger, Amiga Western Regional Sales Manager.

    Mr. Green has made a number of assumptions not based on fact which are
    patently false.  He made some suggestions that are of value and are
    directions Commodore has already implemented.

    Regarding the Colonel Video story, no Amiga dealer is unable to get product
    unless they are not credit worthy.  Regarding Federated, assumptions
    on Federated's effect on the market and marketing stature are premature
    and will be proven false, as well.

    See first Federated advertisement 5/24/86 for their prices.
    Lastly on Federated, the Amiga is the first step in a well-prepared
    marketing plan by Federated to upgrade their computer departments.
    Look for major "name-brand" additions to the Federated assortment.
