Just to get this in before the New York person does:  Atari's quarterly
earnings appeared in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, August 9.  They
reported 3 cents a share, vs 1 cent a share for the corresponding quarter
a year earlier.  The brief item gave me the impression that there may still
be some 'creative accounting' going on to spread the losses from Federated 
over as long a time as possible.  Anyway, the result was encouraging, but
sure doesn't indicate entry into paradise.
