• Top Ten OLD Rumors:

    From Dave Coble@1:2320/100 to All on Sun Jan 30 01:04:12 2005
    10. True Thomas the Rhymer turned rumormonger
    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.
    5. The successful offerer is from Chengdu and Commodore is relocating
    there.
    4. A major manufacturer of steelcase furniture wants the use of the
    name Commodore for its new line of file cabinets, and will be using
    key parts of the Amiga chipset to offer computerized filing organic
    to the new Commodore filing cabinets that will be coming out in five
    months.
    3. The former Charlestown Naval Shipyard is being reactivated, and the
    new ships to be built there will be robotic. The intelligence
    on-board will be ranked as a Commodore, and the US Government is
    nationalizing Commodore USA's remnants to avoid trademark conflict.
    2. The names of the companies expressing interest in the Amiga product

    1. A coalition of Asha Develder, Joyce Divina, Holly Sullivan, Paula
    Lieberman, and others put in a bid as a woman-owned business special
    interest to take over the Amiga line. "hey, we're all female, and
    mostly friendly, so the name "Amiga" is a natural for us! Ms

    DAVE COBLE and ALL will demonstrate tag-team Top Ten OLD Rumors:.
    Everyone take notes.

    10. True Thomas the Rhymer turned rumormonger

    Nah, ya think?

    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.

    Is Haliburton bankrolling?

    8. Commodore is relocating to an closely guarded airplane hanger in
    the US southwest desert.

    That's too pedestrian.

    7. Commodore is relocating to a closely guarded airplane hanger at
    Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

    Ditto. Besides, everyone knows the /real/ action is at Warehouse 23. Fnord.

    6. An unnamed company has purchased Commodore and is relocating the
    entire operation to Lahore.

    That's not funny.

    5. The successful offerer is from Chengdu and Commodore is relocating
    there.

    Even less funny.

    4. A major manufacturer of steelcase furniture wants the use of the
    name Commodore for its new line of file cabinets, and will be using
    key parts of the Amiga chipset to offer computerized filing organic
    to the new Commodore filing cabinets that will be coming out in
    five months.

    Microsoft tried the smart office concept; we got Windows Pro 2000 and
    Microsoft Office.

    3. The former Charlestown Naval Shipyard is being reactivated, and the
    new ships to be built there will be robotic. The intelligence
    on-board will be ranked as a Commodore, and the US Government is
    nationalizing Commodore USA's remnants to avoid trademark conflict.

    Nice try, land-lubber.

    2. The names of the companies expressing interest in the Amiga product
    line have been mistranscribed -- "Sam sung on the topic, NOT
    "Samsung." "Who let Pat, err..." was mistakenly heard as
    "Hewlett-Packard." "Mat sued [expletive deleted], uh...." was also
    mistranscribed.

    This one's the most likely.

    1. A coalition of Asha Develder, Joyce Divina, Holly Sullivan, Paula
    Lieberman, and others put in a bid as a woman-owned business special
    interest to take over the Amiga line. "Hey, we're all female, and
    mostly friendly, so the name "Amiga" is a natural for us! Ms
    Lieberman was, however, noticed muttering darkly about Kiki effects,
    Politically Correct Advertising, Catherine the Grape, and how
    refreshing it would be to hear an adult male soprano voice used in
    the new ad campaign to come...

    You've just bought yourself a whole world of trouble...
