They may decide to halt trading on CBM if it really starts dropping. Does anyone know why he was fired? Marlene

Marlene, go APV and check the business news. Full report there. Rattigan, Sheppard and 4 or 5 others (Treasurer, controller, etc) went also – Maybe that's a hint? Bri

Bri, without having read it yet – I already figured out that it had to be something like that…outrageous. Real question is what is going to happen to CBM and more importantly to the Amiga??? Marlene

Thomas rattigan, Nigel Shepherd, and Mike Brenner are all gone, as well as someone high up in finance. Latest (very reliable) rumor has Al Duncan appointed President, with Rich McIntyre in charge of US operations. Canadians will recognize both men as past presidents of Commodore Canada Ltd. They are both well respected here. In Canada, changes will see Jim Dionne (back with the company after leaving last spring) as president, Commodore canada Ltd. Doug McGregor takes over as National Sales Manager. Both these men are also well respected. Jim Dionne served in top positions in Canada, Italy, and Belgium, and is known as a decision maker. Regards, Larry.
