Gabe, A quarter or two of loss will in all likelyhood have no effect on the overall plan, althou it may cause CBM to re-emphasize efforts here in the US where dollar fluctuations abroad have minimal effects on CBM US's profit/loss column. There would be some effect due to parts costs differences but not as significant as overseas operations profit/loss numbers. If the loss continues into 3 or more quarters, it would be cause for concern again. We went thru about 7 quarters of losses back in '85/'86 and things were getting pretty grim as far as the Amiga was concerned. Obviously, this is all guess work on my part, I have no inside knowledge of what will really happen. I suppose much of it depends on the banks. Don
