I don't often find time to read this group now, but then things don't seem
to change much anyway..

How long have Atari kept the UK waiting for this now?
They should realise that it's a very simple matter to make bootleg EPROM
copies of the 1.4 ROMs, and install them. If it becomes widespread, it
will be no less than they appear to deserve.
They obviously place *some* value on the UK market, they're spending
on TV advertising, and that's definately not cheap!
