   DAVE COBLE to ALL   
   Top Ten OLD Rumors:

    9. A coalition of Marc Barrett, David Corn, Nicholas Alwin, and Jerry   
       Shekhel bankrolled by Steven jobs, Rupert Murdoch, O.J. Simpson,   
       former US President Bush, and Mumar Kaddafy have put in the high bid   
       for Commodore.   
    8. Commodore is relocating to an closely guarded airplane hanger in   
       the US southwest desert.   
    7. Commodore is relocating to a closely guarded airplane hanger at   
       Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.   
    6. An unnamed company has purchased Commodore and is relocating the   
       entire operation to Lahore.

       mostly friendly, so the name "Amiga" is a natural for us!   Ms
