This is a lightly edited capture of an informal chat (live
conference) held on The Portal System on the evening of
Sunday, 1 May 1994.

The main topic of conversation as you might expect was the
impending demise of Commodore.

Dave Haynie, one of the 22 remaining Commodore West Chester
employees (as of this writing) and long-time Engineer at
that facility was our guest. We chose to leave it an open
chat this time rather than stifle the participants by going
formal and taking questions in order, as we usually do with
a special guest such as Dave.

I've edited out a lot of fluff and kept all of Dave's
comments intact. It may be hard to follow for some of you
not used to this kind of capture. If you want to see just
what Dave had to say, load this text into an editor and
search repeatedly for the word "hazy".

Dave appears under his usual pseudonym of "Hazy". I have
also kept intact the list of participants in this chat
and have made a few comments after the names of those 
who should be familiar to the Amiga community but may
not be immediately recognizeable due to their chat
"handles" or Portal pseudonyms.	 Many more people than are
listed below came and went during the course of the four
hours, about 80, so if you see people talking below whose names do
not appear in this list, that's why.

Dave Haynie has his own personal Portal account and you
can send email to him at "hazy@cup.portal.com"
