Commodore Sales and Marketing couldn't sell a $30 Sparc-I clone. If they were selling Sushi, they'd call it "cold, dead fish". Commodore Sales and Marketing has taken the amazing (and they are amazing) things that have come out of Commodore Engineering and convinced everyone it's a bigger Commodore-64. That's howcome. This has little to do with comp.arch anymore. Please followup elsewhere. -- _--_|\ `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. <peter@ficc.uu.net>. / \ 'U` \_.--._/ v

The last I'll say on this (since it's not really comp.arch material). The reason Commodore isn't pushing Amigas for X is that X is available from a third-party (Dale Luck of GfxBase, Inc, a former Commodore employee and current contractor), not Commodore itself. Dale definitely pushes X for Amigas. Beyond that, I'm not in marketing, and don't speak for them. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Common phrase heard at Amiga Devcon '89: "It's in there!"
