I would rather we didn't insult the Atari employees who write here in case they feel that they would rather stop writing. I appreciate the technical help and occasional scoop on company policies they sometimes post and would be very sad if they were to stop. Those employees are not the policy makers but the programmers and engineers and as such should not really take such flak. At best we can hope that any of our more reasonable gripes are passed on to higher powers within the company and result in change. (eg. TOS 1.4 UK distribution) So Bob, in the interest of keeping in with the company that makes my favourite computer please "stop yer bitchin'". >Bob Retelle +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !
