     Sorry to write this, but Mr. Tramiel's track-record for living up
to his promises aren't to good.  As an *early* Vic20 and C64 owner, I
know of far too many instances of Mr. Tramiel promising things which
he did not (or could not) deliver.  Many of those promises, if I
remember, were about computers (B128, ill-fated machines like the
Plus-4 and C16 [which didn't last too long], etc.).  And I have heard
that he is doing this with Atari's products now.  Suffice it to say
that I will believe the above statement when I see the machine selling
at a store.

    Would you like it if Commodore made these same kinds of promises,
and then not living up to them?  Yeah, let's see, a $1500 box running
System V, 4.3BSD, and Xenix, as well as MS-DOS and OS/2, with a 68040,
an 80386, and a transputer, plus some custom RISC chips (what the
hell!), and promised for 1st quarter 1989! ;-)
