     Well, I though I might have overlooked it via 'c'atchup, but
I've since noted that the message you refer to didn't arrive at 'lsuc'
until after I had posted my response.  Usenet is interesting in that
way.  You can't expect everbody to read everything when you do.

     Up here in Canuckland Atari's never really sold well.  You must
remember that Toronto is where Commodore was Born.  This accounts for
the fact that TPUG (Toronto Pet Users' Group) is the world's largest
Commodore Users' Group (as I understand it, then now run the Commodore
SIGs on Compuserve -- which as I understand it hasn't worked out that
great for some reason).  Until just before Tramiel bought u
out Atari, I rarely saw 800's of any kind, except in magazines and
ers' Distributing).

     Your card is new to me.  Good news though.

                                       Cheers! -- Jim O.
