Now he says the're going down. Just because they aren't what he wants them to be, he predicts doom. Again, it is perfectly obvious that with no expectations of any new products and no payoff from R&D, Atari is good for a couple more years. They may even have a VERY good year this year collecting their couple bucks a copy on LYNX and Portfolio. If STacy comes out soon it should at least break even this year. If the TT comes out by mid-Summer, Atari should survive at least 5 more years selling those. Chris, are you working on Wall Street? I got a couple of market letters that predict a crash, with lots of financial services company new hires losing their jobs. Steve J.
