In the latest issue of Infoworld, Jerry Pournelle has a few things to
say about the Macworld Expo.  The following is quoted without
permission: 

	"What Commodore *announced* at the show were two PC clones
	priced so high they'll probably sell as many as AT&T sold PC
	7300s.  What Commodore *privately* showed will be out at about
	the same time Atari ships its new machines, and was the most
	exciting thing I've seen this year.  Don't count Commodore
	America out just yet.  Even its bankers are excited about
	what's coming in March."

Not that I ever counted Commodore out in the first place, or that I've
ever liked Jerry Pournelle to begin with, but this is a pretty solid
indication that something's afoot at Commodore.
