To quote from a letter that {_I received from AmigaWorld magazine about
the canceling of the AmigaWorld Expo:

	"Before announcing the Expo, AmigaWorld and World Expo, the
	show producer, obtained a commitment of support from the senior
	management at Commodore International to participate as the
	anchor exhibitor.  As you may know, a mangement shake-up at
	Commodore in April resulted in the firing of many senior and
	middle-level managers, including the Chief Executive Officer
	and the General Manager.  The new management at Commodore has
	decided to withdraw Commodore's commitment to the AmigaWorld
	Expo at this time."

Come on Irving, is this the "New Marketing Effort?"


	Irritated,
	Gary
