Quote from the Washington Post (as quoted in Bell Labs News):

"American Telephone & Telegraph Co. are negotiating an arrangement
for Atari to put the AT&T name on some of its powerful ST personal       
computers.
  The agreement would give privately held Atari a major customer
for its new machine, while giving AT&T a low-cost entry into the
home and small business personal computer market.
  Officially, both companies declined to confirm the negotiations."

I am worried that if AT&T picks up ST, this will "legitimize" the
ST in the eyes of the average computer, giving it a decided edge
over the AMIGA, right when it needs the publics support.

WAKE UP AT&T--pick up AMIGA-- it's better, and besides, they need the
money!

P.S.  What are they going to call it, the ATTARI?
