- Loathe as I am to agree with him, and puzzled as I am
- that he keeps slipping through my kill file, Mr. Barrett
- is right for the second time in his life.
-
- How can Commodore seriously bill the 4000 as a `state of
- the art' multimedia machine, for a retail price of $4695
- (Canadian), without a CD-ROM? I think Photo CD is a bust,
- or at best, a transition to something better, like a
- PhotoBook (tm) a la Walkman, but CD-ROM is here and now,
- and a must-have for anything calling itself multi-media.
-
- Think I'll get to work on that PhotoBook idea!
-
- MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!
-
- Especially all of you hardworking guys and gals at Commodore:
- and please accept our comments and criticisms in the spirit
- in which MB intended. NOT! B^)
