	Paul, I think Mark is right on this. Woody is being optomistic 
and Mark pessemistic. There is no obvious reason to believe that there 
will be an immediate, significant, shift in either company's relative 
fortunes based on this sale. If Woody is right, both will prosper, if 
Mark, neither.
	The question is about commitment. Is VIScorp commited to the 
continued life and development of the Amiga computer line or simply the 
portion of the technology related to their main business? The two could 
be seen as linked. (Woody) Or not. (Mark) How can we tip the scales?
