As if you're doing anything useful for the computing industry!  The only thing
messages like that do is waste net bandwidth.  And make readers fed up with all
of this whining.  If you don't like it, don't take it and LEAVE.  I'm a little
fed up with what Atari has been doing too.  I was hoping for a TT, but now I
doubt I'll buy one.  I WILL NOT, HOWEVER, BASH THE COMPUTER JUST BECAUSE IT
ISN'T UP TO MY SPECIFICATIONS.
