Funny you should say that as Atari people on Genie refer to it as
PoolFix 4, and in the GenieLamp Mag...that is why I called it that..
I did know that there were some problems when it first came out, but as
Atari people were calling it PoolFix 4, I thought that it had been put
to rest, I am sorry if it has cause a problem...
