And more to the point, does it really matter?  Puh-lenty of prototypes
and "to-be-shipping-real-soon-now" gadgets probably are trotted-out at
shows like this.  I don't necessarily say any of the Atari products you
mention do or don't fit that description, just that it doesn't prove
much if they (Atari) do or don't show them at COMDEX.

Hmmm, I don't recall hearing this name before.  What is "DESKSET", to say
nothing of its sequel?
