Keywords: In the latest issue of Infoworld, Jerry Pournelle has a few things to say about the Macworld Expo. The following is quoted without permission: "What Commodore *announced* at the show were two PC clones priced so high they'll probably sell as many as AT&T sold PC 7300s. What Commodore *privately* showed will be out at about the same time Atari ships its new machines, and was the most exciting thing I've seen this year. Don't count Commodore America out just yet. Even its bankers are excited about what's coming in March." Not that I ever counted Commodore out in the first place, or that I've ever liked Jerry Pournelle to begin with, but this is a pretty solid indication that something's afoot at Commodore. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mike Portuesi / Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Department | | | | ARPA: mjp@spice.cs.cmu.edu | | UUCP: {harvard | seismo | ucbvax | decwrl}!spice.cs.cmu.edu!mjp | | | | ``Amiga hackers do it graphically, with lots of sound effects'' | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Hi, If you were thinking about buying the one of the new Atari ST products, you might be inclined to wait a while to see what Commodore pops up after reading Jerry's column in Infoworld. It kind of reminds me of the [apparently] more orchestrated leaks from IBM. By the way, please hurry up with the Amiga 2500 already. --Bill
