The Atari TT gives you an Atari Cheerleader like Greg Lindhal..
 
 
There aren't any Atari products to compete with most of what the other
computer companies already have for sale, so you have to fall back on the
"someday, someday" cheerleaders...

Atari Corp is making a lot of noise about IBM compatible "pocketable"
computers, and "handheld" video games. They are *NOT* doing anything
useful for their base of computer owners.  Of course they can make money
anywhere they want to.. that's their right under our free enterprise system..
but.. do we as owners of their outdated technology have to kiss up to them??
 
Neil Harris of Atari Corp used to try to tell Atari owners to just
"shut up" if they didn't like what Atari was doing.. his reign as deity
of Atari information didn't last long. How long will Atari owners watch\
as they're once more passed by...?
