- No I don't. I am just saying that in the markets that Commodore does want
- to stay active, Commodore needs to get products to the market far more
- quickly. The AGA chipset should have been available about two years ago. It
- should not have taken Commodore so long to put a 386SX into their BridgeBoard.
- It should not be taking Commodore so long to bring out a CD-ROM drive for
- A2000, A3000, and A4000 systems. And so on. I am not saying that Commodore
- should develop products like fax machines and cellular phones. I am saying
- that Commodore needs to develop Amiga products and Amiga systems far more
- quickly.
