Summary: Subsidize??

Right, the company which just fired most of the Amiga technical staff,
which was almost bankrupt last year, which has given up trying to
produce some potentially good peripherals, THAT Commodore can afford to
subsidize.  Yeah, so can the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and Santa
Claus according to Saint Nick here.  Get real, Mr. Flor, this is not
how businesses work.  They do not subsidize us; we subsidize them!
Your idea of being a "loyal customer" is to expect free handouts at
every turn?  Commodore is primarily a hardware company; if they give
away their hardware, where does their money come from?

Don't try to dance if you can't pay the piper.
