- Good advice. And Commodore (at least outside USA) *is* already following
- it. In fact, the first PC 10 was shipped half a year before the first
- Amiga 1000. BUT: In these very times you don't make money with PCs, you
- just struggle to hold your market share and pray not to lose money.
- Times are hard in that part of the market. But we have to keep it, so
- we have several different lines of sellable devices (C64, Amiga, PCs)
- that can help one another from time to time. Officially, this is called
- "diversification", I think.
