- BZZZT! Hold it, *that* stuff isn't lost. I've got the whole set on
- my hard disk drive. With bells on.

- Don't get me wrong, but the first thing to happen after ESCOM
- purchased the assets of Commodore certainly wasn't to ask "Hey, there
- are these things called Autodocs. We have to get the legal situation
- surrounding these sorted out by February next year. Is there
- a lawyer around here who volunteers to get the job done?". We're past
- the point where promises hold. The NDK is being worked upon, but
- it won't happen tomorrow. Listen, this takes time.
