First of all I would like to ask the Sysops (Don, Steve, Larry) to check with the guys at OLT for biased reporting. They have already put up 2 (TWO!) reports for Atari (one on their earnings and one on the release of the Mega-ripoff ST) and I freaked today when I saw them posting the earnings of Tandy and not of CBU. For goodness sakes!! THEY ARE ON THE SAME PAGE!! (Everyone is sabotaging the Amiga. Try to read the latest Computer shopper. The guy who is doing the review for the ST CAD-3D is also talking about COMDEX and not a word about the Amiga. Even Pournelle said in Infoworld that the Amiga was THE!! booth of COMDEX. Anyway, send flames to John J. Anderson. He is on CIS and pro-ATARI all the way.) Moving ahead, here are some of the highlights of the article reprinted without permission by WSJ. For the full report look in Wednesday's WSJ page 8. "COMMODORE NET ROSE 75% West Chester, PA. Commodore Int. Ltd. reported that earnings jumped 75% in the fiscal fourth quarter, its fifth consecutive quarterly profit….. For the quarter ended June 30, Commodore had net income of $2.1 million, or six cents a share, compared with $1.2 million or four cents a share, last year. …. For the year Commodore had a profit of $28.6 million or 89 cents a share, compared with a loss of $127.9 million in fiscal 1986…." Nice going COMMODORE!!! Nice going AMIGA!!! Now with the 2000 and some ads and we are all set. By the way, contrary to what Marlene/SYSOP said, I heard that some (selected) developers have received or are just receiving the WC A2000 (US design) with all the peripherals that Marlene mentioned. This is very much confirmed from high enough sources. Also that the WC A2000 will be shipped with the V1.21 Kickstart for autoboot from Hard disks. (This is not confirmed). Hope these news made your day, and Sysops, please someone tell OLT that we Amiga users are here too.
