Yesterday, Commodore started company wide layoffs. No reports that I've yet seen indicate just how many people are affected or reasons behind the action or hoped for benefits by the action. People affected at Commodore/Amiga in Los Gatos, CA got their notices yesterday. Among them was Bob Pariseau — formerly Vice-President Software Development. No further details are yet available nor analysis of what this will mean for CBM and the Amiga computer in particular. Watch this forum for more details as they become available.

That was the text of the message Bob Pariseau left on , uh, another network. I don't know where this message came from, it must have spontaneously generated itself on my disk, and then forced itself up the bit stream, through the disk heads, and squirted out my modem, once it knew I was on Compuserve. Sorry to bend the rules, here's and thee's, here and there.

No problem — I didn't have a copy of the text myself — that's why I didn't put it up.

Steve, Really you didn't. You should check the files every once in a while. It's amazing what you can find there. dwj.
