I just got finished reading the latest Federal Computer Week, and it has an article about C. Lloyd Mahaffey becoming vice president of marketing for CBM. Among other things, he says that Commodore is "...probably the most well-kept secret in the computer business." He also notes that the Amiga, while being a powerful machine, "doesn't have...good marketing and a breadth of applications." And he gets paid big bucks for saying what we already know! :) carl cneidhar@emh1-natick.army.mil (arpa)

I've never gotten the impression that Commodore-Amiga management thought anything was wrong with their marketing.
