Leslie,
It was in the Wall Street Journal and the Philedelphia Enquirer (I think)
reports on CBM's stockholder meeting. Some Amiga and stock owner who Gould
apparently tried to get away from by moving the stockholders meeting to the
Bahamas, went to the meeting and from the floor questioned the high CEO
salary (that is apparently higher than for any other computer company –
even Big Blue). He also questioned the Marketting policy and attempeted to
introduce a stockholder motion to cut the salary and provide a larger
Amigia marketting budget or some-such. He refused to be ignored, so they
had him bodily removed. Apparently there were other Amiga/stock owners
there who had poited questions as well. I am fuzzy on the details, but I
think it may have also been reported in Amiga Report 16 or 17 (the on-line
report that gets uploaded here).
I'm sure someone here can be more exact. Not being a stockholder, I was
just amused to see the item and didn't really key on it so…(fog drifting
into the little greay cells…)
