To all who are upset about the new pricing policy:

1)  Remember that Commodore has just had its head lopped off.

2)  The Amiga has been UNDER priced from the start!

3)  The new Commodore management are finally pricing the Amiga where they
    can aford to advertise it.


To the management of Commodore:

1)  Please pay Lotus for 1-2-3.

2)  Please pay Ashton-Tate for DBase and Symphony.

3)  Please have a GOOD word processor developed.

The PR from just having these developed should be worth 2 to 10 times what
they would cost and it would allow you to compete in the REAL business
world where you should have targeted the Amiga in the first place.  I feel
that you should use a percent of your advertising budget to secure the
development of items 1-3.
