I don't think anyone will argue tha Commodore stinks in the marketing
department, but one thing really amazes me is that most if not all
toaster owners firmly believe the the future of Cpmmodore is in
NewTeks hands. While the toaster is a fine, revolutionary product, I
can't see where it accounts for more than 6-7% of US sales and far
less than that internationally. Topeka could blow up tommorow and it
would not significantly affect amiga sales. There is Amiga life
without the toaster.
