Scary thought time:

  Somebody just told me that Atari has "officially" announced that they will
not support the 8-bit line after 1988 is over.

  Can anyone confirm/deny this? The speaker is not known for Atari bashing or
practical jokes, but nobody else I know has heard of this...

P.S. I wonder if this is how Vic-20 owners felt when their machine got
axed...

   Just because it's 8-bits doesn't make it obsolete.          ====  ==  ====
