Amen, brother.  The CBM advertising types need to show this clearly to
really get into the business market, but have been quite negligent in
doing this.

Disclaimer:  I AM a Commodore stockholder.  And I will be a very ANGRY
one if CBM's ad agency blows it by not demonstrating multitasking clearly.
Someone needs to do some prostheletyzing on the ad types!!!  The machine
sells itself, given half a chance (I know from the number of non-technical
people that have seen my Amy), and people can understand multitasking. But
CBM seems intent on NOT giving Amy that chance.
