OK, Mike -- here's one just for you. :-)
(Sung to the tune of the "Mehdi Hillbillies")
Oh, this here's the story of the Commodore boat
It made Irving millions but it couldn't stay afloat.
And then one day, 'fore the management was hung,
Came a knock on the door, and there stood Samsung!
('Lectronics, that is. VCR's. Lousy repair records.)
Well, next thing you know, ol' Irv is selling out
As the rumors and the doomers on the Net begin to shout.
But in the next few years, it is plain that there will be
A million home devices made with Amy's cool technology!
(Chipset, that is. AAA. Not just an auto-towing service.)
