You sure you didn't sleep throught the meeting and dream this ? :-)
Sorry but I just can't believe some 'Commodore' reps would take a 
'prototype' machine, that Commodore itself couldn't display at Hannover
where they announced intentions to work on an '030 box, and display
it to some user group in San Diego. This meeting didn't happen to be
on the 'first of April' did it? I suspect you were the victim of a 
practical joke from some engineers at CSA.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
