- I agree with the conspiracy theory.. someone had to be payed off to
- sabotage Commodore possibly of fears of their AAA chipset, HOMBRE and
- basically their deal with Hewlett Packard which would have given them
- very fast and powerful home computers at the time.. and would have
- eventually been Windows compatible.. not saying what would have happened
- to AmigaOS mind you but..

- P.S. I agree on your North American viewpoint also.. the Amiga is an
- international computer which needs both markets on both sides of the "big
- sea" to survive. Commodore fooled that up and it looks like AT is
- heading that way too.
