I agree with you about who designed, but if I had the envious job of working
in the game industry (IMHO), I would know what the heck is inside each of the
game systems on the market. Not only the ones that my company sells but also
the competition :)

it's a shame if they can't tell us. 'Cause I'll bet that Nintendo knows
everything about the lynx ( either through reverse engineering or more 
likely they just bought a developers kit ). 

Oh well, maybe someday atari will get their act together. Problem is that
by then they will probably have alienated any loyal users left. :(
