OK.  I have to tell you that my opinion differ from yours (You didn't
know that, did you? :-) a great deal.  I'm working in a TOY STORE right
now, selling computers (Amigas! They won't sell the ST: They can't
get any help from Atari, then - why bother? The amigas sells better.)
If Atari continues doing like this, that's the way it will be. And not
only here in Sweden...
The impression I have of people buying computers is that they want
to learn programming, if they don't know how to do already.
People who just want's to USE software (games in my case) simly buy
a video game (ie sega or nintendo).
But, the situation MIGHT be different in the US; I don't know.

Fine. Where can we learn ATARI's so called opinion, then?  By ordinary
mail to whom, say?
