If it wasn't still pushing the C128 it would be nearly shy of the TOY rep
now.  Remember, Amiga was developed by a wholly different toy company and
few people remember it.  Don't worry!  It won't be long and Commodore will
be nothing but Amiga and will change the name to some cough syrup or sports
clothing name (Compupro -> Viasyn, Sage -> Stride Micro, etc.).

It is.  NeXT has backing from H. Ross Perot.  That means it will succeed even
if HRP has to buy federal legislation or call in favours from Ronny and the
CIA to make it.
