	Gee, this sounds a lot like the NeXT generation of Amiga.  It's
supposed to run a UNIX spin-off, but I'm not sure which one.  Bummer is that
Commodore's not much better than Xerox at marketting.  

>Would anyone else like to see a revolution?
	Most of a revolution is the hype associated with it:  if
people don't believe it, it doesn't exist.  Good hardware/software platforms
exist, but don't always make it big: eg. the early Xerox stations.  Less 
wonderful systems with good marketting people, etc. often do:  witness the 
original Apples, IBM PC's,...  

	Gotta cut this short...
