Make that: "The Commodore Management..."
Yup. Remember the revolving door that was always open for presidents? I had friends at Amiga dealerships. A president would come in, start a sensible marketing plan like going after Apple's niche in the public schools, and then, just as things were beginning to click, there'd be a new president and the rug would be pulled out from under them. And usually it was the customers who got the worst of it. The same sort of cheesy business practices were applied to the WordPerfect people and, evidently, to NewTek. Commodore management never understood what they had. What they wanted was another C64 that would sell itself and channel them to Fort Knox overnight. They never understood that they had to build their market one brick at a time. They had the attention span of children and the company was always like a rat in a maze, bumping into walls, backtracking, running down passages where it had been before, then trying something else without ever getting an airborne view and establishing a road map that would lead to the great outdoors.
