RE: atari hype as a media event:
I don't mind the pre-release vapourware statements but they no longer serve
in Atari's best interest.  It used to be that pre-show announcements would 
make Atari's stock climb for a few months and one could make a quick buck
(I heard from one source that stock promotion was atari's best venture), but
now, no one on wall street seems to care what Atari is planning to make.
I guess Atari's track record is catching up with them.
