- Also, responding to the question of *why* the commodore market
- declined, I quote Dennis Brisson, editor of RUN magazine, from the
- October 1989 Running Ruminations: "I occasionally receive letters from
- readers explaining their decision to abandon their Commodore
- eight-bits for an Amiga or IBM clone. They generally cite the need to
- move to a 'more serious' computer, away from 'toy' machines and a
- market preoccupied with games."
-
- Needless to say, I am not one to appeal to authority, but I hope this
- will further confirm the position which I have presented in my other
- posts that Commodore is no longer commercially viable because of
- technological advances. In further posts I will argue that the same
- phenomenon is responsible for the move from black and white to color
- TV, from horse and buggy to automobile, and from voo-doo to modern
- medicine. Opposing me in this will me Doug?
