Until that changes, Atari will have `a nice thriving market in the European marketplace. Great, that is `fine. [stuff about unfair trade deleted] The _point_, Chris, is that the TT prices we have are given in DM. _You_ insist on comapring the TT's German price to the Sun's U.S. price. We don't yet know what the TT's US price will be. Until then, There's no point in complaining about how the TT's German price doesn't stack up to a Sun's U.S. price. As you yourself pointed out, U.S. machines cost more in Germany. `Cheers, ` `Chris -- Steve Whitney "It's never _really_ the last minute" (())_-_(()) UCLA Comp. Sci. Grad.
