No, Bob, one day I woke up and said, "I don't want to let any more
articles flow by on comp.sys.atari.st with obvious technical goofs in
them. And I'm tired of seeing people repeatedly give Atari advice
about marketing when all they're doing is filling the newsgroup with
junk."

I don't own any Atari stock. I rarely turn on my 520 these days. But I
enjoy quality discussions on comp.sys.atari.st... until recently.

Excuse me? My point is: don't flame something that doesn't exist yet.
Who knows if will exist or not, ever? I don't. You don't. So don't
waste the keystrokes flaming it.

And they are making money selling computers. I'll stop repeating
myself on this point, and suggest that you read their stock reports.

And if you don't like the ST, buy something else.
