	Commodores Amiga looks in my opinion to be one of the nicest pieces
of hardware to have been designed for a long time. It is inexpensive and
powerful. It could pull Commodore out of their financial difficulties but
it is sad to think that people will not buy one because of the possibility
of the machine being discontinued. As programmers we are constantly griping
about the Intel line and wishing we had a better peice of hardware to work
with. Well here is something better. As people who program small machines
we have the power together to help make or break a machine. I'd rather see
this machine do something like the Apple II rather than become another Lisa.
Let's help it rather than hinder it.

	P.S. I have no connection with Commodore nor do I stand to profit
	     if the Amiga is a success of failure. I will however be very
	     pleased to see a nice peice of hardware get the market share
	     that it deserves.
