Please.  I was specifically talking about Atari Games, the company that
makes the coin-op games, with NO connection to Atari Inc., the company
that makes the ST et al.   The reason I was overqualified is, simply,
because, for what they had in mind, I WAS.  I felt that the position
they were trying to fill could use a much more senior person than they
did; they felt that they only needed a less experienced, and therefore
less expensive, person.  I can't fault them for that; the frowny
face was simply disappointment on my part.  Atari Games seems to have
good folk working for them, and produce good product.  The fact that
they've licensed their games for Amiga versions (to either Mindscape
or Microillusions, I forget) proves that they have more sense than
the folk at Atari, Inc.  I want Joust, damnit!
