	Look for games and programs for the Atari to be discounted at
various video, computer, and other stores.  From what I've noticed
several titles are incompatable with the new XL line of computers
so they are being discounted.  Although the Translator disk is available,
not many people would buy a new program if it didn't work on their computer
without the need to load another disk.  Also the translator is unavaliable
on cassette, and the time waiting for the translator to load would be
frustrating.
	I've seen good games selling for under $10 and $20 at a couple of
places so I am speculating that the above may be the reason.  Has anyone
else noticed the same.
