An additional (unofficial report) originating from someone on the Cleveland Freenet: *** quote Also, in a report which was on CNBC financial news yesterday, or the day before, IBM was asked (after the announcement) the question: "What about smaller companies?" IBM replied, "We understand the threat posed by much smaller companies, such as the Commodore Corporation, however, we are not very worried about such a small company infringing on our markets. Commodore concentrates on multimedia, and they currently are good at it. "However, with our (Apple/IBM) new multimedia machine being released in the future, and Apple releasing their own multimedia system "QuickTime" this October, we feel that the already popular Macintosh and IBMs will be able to easily crush any competition other companies may pose." *** unquote
