I went to my local dealer minutes ago to get a 
laser printout.  

While waiting, the owners of the store called from Las Vegas,
having spent the last several days taking in the new products.


The TT?  The owners said that Atari made a very bad
move by displaying DESKSET II (?)... in their words,
it was "dogmeat"... "very slow".  They said it didn't make
a good impression, obviously.  

Furthermore, ATARI would NOT give a release date.  All they would
say was: "It's available in Canada and in Europe."  

Another vote for Dave Small and Jim Allen! DO IT !

And Greg L,  you're right, all the bashing in the world
won't change a thing.. particularly when dealing with ATARI..
they really don't give a damn.
