Although Schneider marketed the PCW at almost double the price as a
straight CP/M machine. At least that's according to......

I don't think it was double the price,

er,

"Alan Sugar explains the point
The Germans took the Joyce[...] but they entered the market at
nearly double the price, thinking they could soak up a lot of profit."

Do you believe everything Alan Sugar says?

Hence my use of the phrase - "At least that's according to......".

You repeatedly imply that Roland is wrong. Why?

If you actually take the trouble to read the thread, you'll
notice that I'm merely quoting material out a book Roland
proof read, when it was first published in 1990.

Alan Sugar. The Amstrad Story. David Thomas. Century London 1990

If, when I first raised the matter of the book a while back,
Roland had said "that's all rubbish don't believe a word
of it", that would have been good enough for me. But he didn't.

Roland sometimes corrects what I post, implying that I can't
in fact read.

Now which of those statements are you having such a problem
with?
