font technology expertise required.
=Workbench: Develop new and standardize existing utilities for Amiga
Workbench window-based GUI.
=Custom Device Development Support: As a member of the graphics group,
work on a task force developing, testing and proving custom graphics
devices for the Amiga. This challenging position offers the opportunity to
contribute to state of the chip design. Experience with low-level system
programming required.
For all of the above positions, C language and/or 68000 assembly experience
is required, and Amiga or multitasking OS development experience is
strongly desired. The successful applicant will be hard working,

Kevin, do they tell you how long one can expect to keep the job (in weeks
or months)? 🙂

Heh-heh. That's a comment *I* didn't want to make (about longevity of
Commodore jobs ;-).
But they sound interesting while they last, eh?
cheers – kev
Sure they do. But it doesn't sound like any of them will help the Amiga
itself, just things like CDTV; which without much marketing, is likely to
die out.
Excuse me, Ron, but all of those jobs contribute to the Amiga. The
CDTV job affects it indirectly. Did you see the job doing graphics
support which worked with custom chip development? Doesn't this
affect the Amiga? New graphics custom chips? Sounds good to me.
To add to what Ron said, it seems out here on the West Coast that CDTV was
still-born. All the cheapy electronic store chains have the nice glitzy
CD-I displays and machines doing their thing. I have yet to see a CDTV in
person, one of its adds, or even a poster for it in stores that sell 500s
(which is were you'd figure the CDTV initial outlet should be). I believe
CDTV is going to be even less popular than 8 track tapes were! Short
product life – shorter job!

A CBM marketdroid (yeah, we're back at that level) basically told me that
(reading between the lines) that they've pretty much dropped out of the
consumer market for CDTV, and intend to concentrate on special purpose
(sales kiosks, etc) usage.

Ron,
"He, He, patient died – maybe we can sell some organs!"
CBM marketting – what a comedy!

Well, just drop up to my store again, sometime, Wayne 🙂 We got CDTV's. I
had to harangue my DM, but we got 'em. Most successful store selling them
in my district (North LA – Software Etc). Have one on demo constantly.

Richard,
I think you should apply to CBM for the VP of Marketting job.
wmc
Aiiieee! Wayne, I thought we were *FRIENDS*!!??? I don't WANT to be
unemployed!
Besides, I like selling Amigas…

Richard,
Well, maybe you could borrow some of the leftover Mob/CIA tools from the
Castro attempts and try 'em out on good ole' Irv. Then, as the new VEEP
you could use his salary as the advertising budget. Should be able to
Sponsor next years Super Bowl!!! :^}
wmc
Gee, Wayne, are you implying our Beloved Leader isn't worth every penny?!?
Regards,
Whap!penned… Pat Cummings @Oxxi (310) 427-1227
Pat,
Let me just say that I could do a MUCH better job than Irv baby for half
the salary! :^}
wmc
You forget, Wayne, that Haig is on the board; that means no access to those
"tools" for the opposition 🙂 Besides, if I had that much money, I would
just buy Apple and sell the Amiga as an Apple 🙂
