This is an absolutely inane statement to make. If you are not satisfied
with your Atari computer, you should sell it and buy a different one, or
else learn to live with it. How do you expect users to have any hope of
Atari listening to us if we go on attacking them at the highest levels?
The "why haven't you fixed this bug yet (these zillion bugs yet!)?" approach
to applying pressure to Atari might have some chance of success, the "I don't
like the management/ownership and your mother dresses you funny" approach
is sure to bring out the "business is war, and you are obviously on the
wrong side" attitude in any company.
