I saw a story on the Reuter business newswire that said Atari Corp. is negotiating with Israel to establish a $150 million computer factory. Israel is being asked to supply $100 million or so in loan guarantees for Israeli component plants. Apparently if Atari assembles machines in Israel using a sufficient level of Israeli-made components, the machines can be shipped duty-free to the European Community. The production capacity would replace plants currently operating in Taiwan. ---- Steve Yelvington / P. O.
