I was flamed pretty good for my admittly *strong* language a few monthes
ago about the ST and Atari and the Atari user's community.  At the time
everyone was saying how wonderful the ST was and how lovly Atari Corp.
was.  I made one really *STUPID* remark about the ST programming 
community that was insensitive and wrong.
But I was not wrong about Atari Corp.  CBM did themselves proud
by dumping the Tramiel clan.  Atari Corporatio has come up with enough
empty promises and missed release dates to satisfy a decade worth of
business much less two years.  
I got no "I told you so's" left.  They ain't worth the breath expended
on them.  "Power without the Price" has become "Business is War" with
ST owner's the POW's (I own one so I can speak).  It seems Mr. Harris
has also adopted a "Tell 'em what they want hear" attitude.  Re: The 
postings others have fished from their archives about the Laser Printer
and Mega ST availabilty dates.
"Fool me once, shame on you", "Fool me twice, shame on me."
I'm not going to get fooled twice.

These comments are mine alone and not Eastman Kodak's. How's that for a
simple and complete disclaimer?
