Dale, I was not "bashing" Commodore. I have a vested interest in their survival and success. I was just pointing out the obvious. Bad product decisions were made. Marketing has never been consistent. Commodore is running on inertia but it's apparent that the rapidly increasing clone market in Europe (particulay in Germany) is supplying the friction to slow that inertia. Hopefully the results of the YTD (a $273M loss — and I don't expect the 4Q to be profitable) will give Gould and Ali a wakeup call. I'm looking at this as objectively as I can. I could bash away with an almost endless list of specific problems — but that's not productive. If we did not have a sincere interest in Amiga we would not be in this forum. We need to realistically look at this results, hope that the wakeup call will be answered and go from there. Things could be a LOT worse. CBU had $120M in sales last quarter — NeXT is no longer (hardware-wise) and Atari had $10M in sales for the same quarter.
