[Even as I type this posting the Computer Graphics show is in progress.
This posting will be too late for most of you, but I felt a response was
called for...]

I was concerned when I read this posting so I sought out the powers-that-
be to get the scoop:  Unfortunately, the rumours you heard are correct.
Commodore will not be at the New York Computer Graphics show.  The problem
is one of resources.  While Commodore has over 50 shows slated for this year
alone, there are many we, regrettably, cannot attend.  For those we don't,
however, we make an effort to help dealers and developers out with equipment
and whatever else they might need.  We're helping out a couple for the
New York show, so Commodore's presence will be felt.
