Both of my once exclusive ATARI dealers are now selling
Amigas and clones...

"we have been forced to..."  as they say.
Both dealers complain heavily about ATARI as a company...
doesn't make the consumer too excited about buying into it.

Also, they say they are having a hard time justifying why
people should buy an ATARI over a mac, or a clone given the 
prices these days.

I always remind myself, with all my "gripin' " , that my ST
can still do what it always has done.  TEMPUS is still great.
