You're right!  It IS bogus.  If it's the same STEmulator that I had on my BBS
about 2 years ago (old stuff) it was supposed to be a joke on the Atari.  It
looks like the startup of the Atari and then it's supposed to bomb to signify
the rotten abilities of the Atari computer (in the authors opinion).  I would
have to say that we've wasted enough bandwidth on this lame excuse for a
program and that we should all concern ourselves more with Amiga related items
of interest.
