I just got this from a friend and I wanted to know if this is true.  If it
is true, any good feelings that I had been having for Atari (since they
started talking on the net again) will quickly disappear.  In fact, just
the thought of it makes me livid.

I am going to hold my tongue for now, but if we old-Atarians are getting
shafted again, I'm going to go off like an atom.  Come on guys, even
the trash gets taken out once in a while.

Every good system designer knows that starvation is not good for an
`operating system.'

Say it ain't so...
