	What about Atari's earnings for that quarter?  Considering Amigas are
actually _selling_, I'd expect Atari has a lot less profit to work with.
Of course, Atari hasn't spent millions on advertising, a dozen or so major
new products, or large numbers of new employees.  Haven't heard about
any stores closing in Canada, but here in the US they've just signed on
400 new dealers.
