Finally, a message that isn't a flame !!!  Isn't this heat getting old
already.  If you not happy with Atari, why tell us.  We've been there.
Go tell someone who wants to hear it.  Me ??? I want some information about
the Atari ST computer.  Not complaints about the company !!!

Make that three of us and probably a lot more who are tired of all the 
griping.

Nah !!! Let's just clean up our act on this group.  How about it, I won't
complain if you don't !!!  

I really would like for this to be a worthwhile group.  If it turns into an
Atari bashing group it could die under its own weight.

Let's not let that happen.
