I'm surprised, and disturbed, that Lynx isn't out either. The price is
right, and it actually looks like it is going to be supported.

Atari is preparing to learn another hard lesson, that technical superiority
combined with a competitive price isn't always enough. The nintendo gameboy
is very likely to capture the market, simply because it is out first, and
name association (Nintendo=quality games) is there. No flames on the last
point; just walk into any video rental store, go to Toys'R'Us and see who
has the most wall space, etc.

We'll see. If it isn't out by the end of October (in quantity), then the war
is over even before it began.
