>Commodore has every reason to hand over the reigns of US marketing to >NewTek. NewTek sells machines. NewTek knows how to market the product, >and does it well. 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.
