	Commodore didn't commit serious money to the Amiga. They
have a hard time shifting from the game machine -- no support
company. As well, no one will believe that Commodore could
possibly be making something other than a game machine.
	As to wishing Jack Tramiel had the Amiga, you're crazy!
Look what he's doing over at Atari! He hasn't shown any interest
in promoting things other than as a game machine.

	I would like to know how much money they take in in
sales, and what their earnings are. Every publically traded
company has to say that.
