I think Mike should work in the advertising-section of atari-germany ...

Ok, starting my reply:

I think only HACKERS are intended to ,,hack out`` the interiors of the
ST (and -believe me- I for myself, I am a HACKER) but if you have to
do REAL WORK based on this support you get sick ...

The thing I was critizising in one of my last notes was, that 
,,DEVELOPERS`` had to pay 4300,- DM, about $2200 (in 1985) for the
so called ,,developers kit`` - And for such a price you've got the
RIGHT to expect more than five disks with tiny software on christmas ...

Another thing (I don't know exactly what ATARI-US is doing, BUT:) is, that
ATARI Germany (And we in the German-speaking part of Europe depend on them)
is not even able to support us the right way 
(BTW: what's the right way ??? :-) :-) :-)

ATARI-Germ. is ONLY (it seems to be ...) a huge ,,selling machine`` ...

Simply have a closer look on that, what ATARI is doing on the CeBit-Hannover-
Fair ....
