I like the idea, and in just a few hour s the BBSes over here in Silicon Valley has really stirred up with action. Everyone has liked the idea, though I would rather, see GEMdos be debugged, I also like the idea of Atari Being publicised heavily by a chain store. Also isn't that what the Software Departement is supposed to do??? This will probably mean that there will be a bunch of new jobs, and a bunch of laid off workers. One thing I will miss is that guy in their commercials, . It's going to be hard getting used to seeing Uncle Jack there instead.
