DAVE COBLE and ALL will demonstrate tag-team Top Ten OLD Rumors:.
Everyone take notes.

 DC> 10. True Thomas the Rhymer turned rumormonger

Nah, ya think?

 DC>  9. A coalition of Marc Barrett, David Corn, Nicholas Alwin, and Jerry
 DC>     Shekhel bankrolled by Steven jobs, Rupert Murdoch, O.J. Simpson,
 DC>     former US President Bush, and Mumar Kaddafy have put in the high
 DC>     bid for Commodore.

Is Haliburton bankrolling?

 DC>  8. Commodore is relocating to an closely guarded airplane hanger in
 DC>     the US southwest desert.

That's too pedestrian.

 DC>  7. Commodore is relocating to a closely guarded airplane hanger at
 DC>     Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Ditto.  Besides, everyone knows the /real/ action is at Warehouse 23. Fnord.

 DC>  6. An unnamed company has purchased Commodore and is relocating the
 DC>     entire operation to Lahore.

That's not funny.

 DC>  5. The successful offerer is from Chengdu and Commodore is relocating
 DC>     there.

Even less funny.

 DC>  4. A major manufacturer of steelcase furniture wants the use of the
 DC>     name Commodore for its new line of file cabinets, and will be using
 DC>     key parts of the Amiga chipset to offer computerized filing organic
 DC>     to the new Commodore filing cabinets that will be coming out in
 DC>     five months.

Microsoft tried the smart office concept; we got Windows Pro 2000 and
Microsoft Office.

 DC>  3. The former Charlestown Naval Shipyard is being reactivated, and the
 DC>     new ships to be built there will be robotic.  The intelligence
 DC>     on-board will be ranked as a Commodore, and the US Government is
 DC>     nationalizing Commodore USA's remnants to avoid trademark conflict.

Nice try, land-lubber.

 DC>  2. The names of the companies expressing interest in the Amiga product
 DC>     line have been mistranscribed -- "Sam sung on the topic, NOT
 DC>     "Samsung." "Who let Pat, err..." was mistakenly heard as
 DC>     "Hewlett-Packard." "Mat sued [expletive deleted], uh...." was also
 DC>     mistranscribed.

This one's the most likely.

 DC>  1. A coalition of Asha Develder, Joyce Divina, Holly Sullivan, Paula
 DC>     Lieberman, and others put in a bid as a woman-owned business special
 DC>     interest to take over the Amiga line.  "Hey, we're all female, and
 DC>     mostly friendly, so the name "Amiga" is a natural for us!   Ms
 DC>     Lieberman was, however, noticed muttering darkly about Kiki effects,
 DC>     Politically Correct Advertising, Catherine the Grape, and how
 DC>     refreshing it would be to hear an adult male soprano voice used in
 DC>     the new ad campaign to come...

You've just bought yourself a whole world of trouble...
