Just to keep the rumor mill going... :-)  Maybe, these items can be
bootlegged.  Even though I've never posted on this subject, one of our
local dealers has an Atari CD ROM for sale that I saw over a year ago.
It's probably not selling for lack of software.  :-)  If I remember
right, it was going for 4000 to 4500 FF (French Francs).

Then again, us Europeans are lucky.  But not as lucky as those Germans.

Win a few, lose a few.  :-)  I'm still waitng for TOS 1.4 ;-(
