	Ok, I'll byte. Tos 2.0 has lotsa bugs (dunno I've never seen it).
And... The bugs dont surprise me, considering the years it's taken to fix
Tos period (though at best its still lame). If it is dangerous to a atarites
computer, HD, files et al... Why... preytel is it floatin' around?
If atari itself cannot keep items like tos 20 under lock and key, this means
someone's handin; it about... correct? If, circumstantially mind you....
I got this item say from a users group or BBS and it had atari's name on it,
and... it wiped out say thousands of dollars of biz data (not that I'd use
it for biz anyway) atari'd be hearin' from me... or a lawyer.... etc.
IF! in fact, it leaked out... every registered atari user should get a note
from atari (maybe on a postcard of a pretty Sun) tellin' em' if they see it
report it, relate its puter' poison... etc.
