	IBM machines and compatibles have such a hold on todays micro-market
that it is considered a good idea to have 'IBM compatibility'. I think 
SideCar is a win, though I will never use it.  If Commodore advertises 
correctly (e.g. advertise SideCar WITHOUT downgrading the Amiga it's connected
to), it will get its product into the IBM buyers market.  

	But if you offer 'plain' compatibility your going to get in trouble.
If you notice, the compatibles doing the best business are the ones that
provide '3x performance', or great deals integrated systems with HD's and 
such.  Nobody is going to take notice of SideCar unless it has something of
that sort going for it.
