	At the most recent FAUG meeting, a representative from Byte-by-Byte
announced that they are ceasing production of both the Pal and the Pal Jr.
units. They will continue to supply spare parts, etc., but said that it
was not economically feasible to keep producing the units. One reason
he gave was simply that they have not sold that well (possibly because
they weren't shipping?) I also imagine the marketplace will be substantially
different with a CBM produced controller for the 2000.
