[comp.sys.amiga] Sheer numbers!

barrett@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Dan Barrett) (09/07/90)

	I want to say that I am VERY IMPRESSED by the sheer number of
CBM employees reading and answering questions on comp.sys.amiga.  I
decided to count how many different CBMers appeared over a two week
period, and I was QUITE pleasantly surprised.

	I won't post the actual number, because I don't want some
CBM higher-up type saying, "Hey!  We don't need that many people reading
news!"  1/2 :-)  But there were representatives from a good number of
different departments.

	So here's a big THANK YOU to all you helpful CBM folks.  I hope
you'll all be contributing for a long time to come.

                                                        Dan

ps:	What kind of machine is cbmvax, anyway?  Must have a high
	load average.  :-)

It used to be a VAX 11/785.  But we built faster Amigas.  So it got jealous
and turned into a DECsystem 5810.  Perhaps in another year or so, the Amigas
will be catching up, but for now, cbmvax laughs at load averages.
