You can't be serious. Re: a) – who is ourselves? I highly doubt the users in this forum could do much better than Commodore did. I'm sure the people here care more, but I doubt that anyone here really has the ability. As for b) NewTek knows nothing about running a multinational company like Commodore. They're a small company in Topeka Kansas that had a hot idea and an incredible PR campaign. While that worked for the Toaster, I don't see how it could work for the Amiga at this point which is no longer "hot". I figure it would take about 300 million dollars to get Commodore back on its feet if it were possible at all, with about 50 going into R&D, 150 into operations, and 100 into marketing. Think we can generate that kind of dough on here?
