You asked for it...

Just a few hours ago, I talked to Alex about 8-bit support.  He will be
spending quite a bit of time in the GEnie 8-bit conference (called "ATARI").
It will take him a little while to wade through all the messages there
already, but expect to see his presence there on a daily basis.

A further note.  I had a meeting last week with TOP management here at
Atari.  The topic was also 8-bit support, including ways to get software
produced by outside companies and how to get better presence for 8-bit
software.  The subject has yet to be concluded, but we are coming up with
some good ideas.
