- Re: talking about IBM having a lousy quarter...well, that's true, but if you
- look in ClariNet you'll see that Intel, Microsoft and Electronic Arts all have
- had record years last year. Sure, some companies hurt (IBM and Borland) but
- you can't say EVERYONE did.

- Re: Advertising and major chains...to HELL with getting the Amiga INTO chains,
- they should try and KEEP Amiga products in chains that carry them! The latest
- casuality: Electronics Boutique is liquidating the last of their Amiga
- software. But you're definately right, Commodore needs to advertise much more.
- Unfortunately they are now behind in technology as compared to clones, so they
- need to sink _more_ money into R&D instead of pulling it for ads. Let's hope
- they can keep their heads above water long enough...
