	This is TRUE. I look at the calendar and note that I finally came to
this conclusion a year ago, with *Many* other points to add about CBM. Forget
just the announced products that didn't ship, all the working ones that were
great that they dropped. And all the stealing of people's work, et al...

	A full year has passed since my experiences with the Amiga. It's still
a great machine, only the names have changed. There have been generations of
bright, enthused and interesting people that have taken up the Amiga torch,
but they all end up with a messed head from looking at CBMs doings. Now it is 
a totally new group from those that were programming it a couple of years ago.
It's not new names of thriving startup software ventures now, it's just new
programmers and hackers playing around with the thing...

	Anyone out there making a living writting Amiga (non-game) software ??

	I think that Commodore is all just a tax writeoff for Irving Gould, 
they can't be in business to make a successful product family.

	(That should bring in the lawyers)
