I understand through people who went to COMDEX in Las Vegas
that Commordore didn't even show up with the Amiga.

Seems a bit odd considering the money put into their advertising scheme...

Instead, people at COMDEX saw an absolutely fantastic display
of the same bouncing ball demo running -- SIDE-BY-SIDE, mind you -- three
machines: 520ST, Amiga, and Mac. All three were running the same ball demo. 
Because of the speed difference, the ST was the clear winner, but not only
becaue of the speed, but also the color which was much more brilliant.

What do you think about this? Why didn't Commordore take the Amiga to
Comdex? Why am I not reading anything about it in December PC magazines?
How is the $124 million loss for 3rd quarter going to affect them?

Please direct answers to the net as I'm sure all are interested.

Puzzled, but with aloha,
