I think the word PC refers to the IBM-PC clone line that Commodore used to sell, not the Amiga line… and I would feel fairly confident that it would not contain games consoles… or else the Nintendo might be the worlds best selling PC! -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot.

This is probably true, but the term PC is used in so many different ways it's impossible to be sure. Paul

"I think the word PC refers to the IBM-PC clone line that Commodore used to sell, not the Amiga line… " The article doesn't specify anything beyond "PC", although it does identify the Amiga by name. Since I don't know anything more than what was printed, I sure can't agree or disagree. Jerry

Just something to think about… not very definitive. -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot. MAC Quadra 900 and \\// 486 emulation. E-Mail: jonathanb@delrina.com

No flame intended, but there's plenty of reason to suspect "Amiga" and "Colt" could be interchangeable terms in the reporter's mind; and, actually, anyone who is simply restating Commodore's Official Position is only telling the public what Commodore wants them to hear, no?… Mr. C (Amiga: Muerte O Suerte?)

I expect that it was for ALL machines, since CBM was shipping very little. Nothing can be sold if you don't have any machines at the dealers. -Karl

"I expect that it was for ALL machines, since CBM was shipping very little. Nothing can be sold if you don't have any machines at the dealers." That would be my guess as well, but since the article didn't get into methodology, it's impossible to say for sure. Jerry
