[line eater?? what

According to a blurb in the june issue of Lotus magazine, 
Commodore is apparently changing its marketing strategy
for the Amiga.  I have only recently gotten access to Usenet
so I apologize if this has been discussed before.  To quote
the article:

"Due to disappointing sales of the AMIGA computer, COMMODORE
INTERNATIONAL is shifting the bulk of its $40 million ad budget
to support its low-end home computers.  The Amiga has been 
retargeted for vertical markets.  Advertising Age 6/16."

Note that Lotus attributes the source for this to Advertising Age.

What impact, if any, is this liable to have on those of us who already have
Amigas?  Any comment?
