#4 More>>>@3
Ahh, so you've decided to read on have you?
Well, after a few yo yo's we finally got some sense from David.
Paul: So how do you think the Amiga is doing now?
Dave: Well, things have never been better, we have produced
thousands of Amigas and they are selling like hot cakes.
Paul: What's with this we? You mean Escom?
Dave: Es..Who??
Paul: Escom
David: Pardon you.
Paul: No, Escom own the Amiga....
David: What?!! Rubbish, we took the Amiga from Atari in the early
80s, don't be so silly lad! #4More>>>
@3
Paul: Hang on, your management buyout failed remember, because of
Escoms higher bid!?!!?!
David: No, don't be silly, Our Engineers are bringing out the
new Commodore A1200 plus with the AAA chipset.
Paul: When's this likely to appear?
David: Oh About Spring of '96
Paul: So mid 1998 then?
David: Yes, well the bundle will be the Lemmings 3 pack along with
a desk top publishing program.
Paul: Which one?
David: Oh, probably Pagesetter 1.2, we like to keep with the times.
Paul: Err, wouldn't Pagestream 3 be better?
David: What? #4More>>>
@3
Paul: It doesn't matter. Anyway, how's Commodore doing these days?
David: Well, things have never been better, The Amiga is outselling the
P.C as usual due to its custom chips and ultra fast 8Mhz Processor.
Paul: Gee, where can I buy this wonder machine from?
David: Well, you could try Calculus or Indi.
Paul: Didn't they go bust?
David: WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING EVERYTHING HAS GONE BUST!
Are you stupid! The Amiga has never done better, I've
looked in Dixons and Currys and there are loads of P.Cs
but NO Amigas, they are obviously having a hard time selling
PCs and are selling out of Amigas faster than they can get
them in stock.
Paul: Err, ... Right. Whatever you say.
Dave: <Listen Anderson ! I'm the managing director Not YOU, You're
not funny go and wind up Colin.>
Paul: What's going on Dave? #4More>>>
@3Dave: Oh, some silly pillock, keeps telling me to get out of his
chair and get back to Tangent. He's obviously taking advantage
of my good nature. If he doesn't stop it I'm going to fire him.
Paul: Err, Have you ever considered the possibility that he is
the new manager of Amiga Technologies U.K?
Dave: Why that's preposterous! I'm in charge here, Commodore U.K
Maidenshead. Commodore's where I am in charge of and that is where
I'll stay!
Paul: Didn't A.T change sites, I'm sure they're not in Maidenshead
any more! So if you're not at Maidenshead, and Jon Anderson
is in the same place as you, then you must be....
Security : A flippin' dickhead, that's what he is, he thinks he is
Bloke in charge of Commodore and A.T, what an idiot.
Next he'll be telling us he's really David Pleasance.
Paul: I know what a nutter! See you!
Security: Bye. #4Tiny bit More>>>

And that is the first interview where someone didn't put the phone
down on me! What an amazing achievement!
