- No, but that is exactly what Commodore's competition would be if they were
- to try to get into the mid-range CD-ROM multimedia market. All of the systems
- that Commodore would be competing against would have at least an SVGA and a
- 32-bit CPU in addition to several meg of RAM, a detached keyboard, and the
- necessary CD-ROM drive.
-
- I am not making a definition of what a "computer" is. I am defining the
- typical make-up of a mid-range ($1500-$2000) CD-ROM multimedia computer
- system.
