Yup.  Atari has developed the commodity computer system.  Every month or so
you get to buy a new version of the ROMs.   The systems themselves they will
sell at no profit and they wil make a fortune selling ROM revisions. :-)

Actually, I think they should make a RAM loaded patch and post it here, DELPHI,
GENIE, COMPUSERVE (open forums not the developers SIG), the STadel network
and any other of the major computer networks.
