It reminds me of the AT&T customer service joke that raised so much hell a while back. It was really meant to be a joke kids. A poke at Atari vaporware yes, but it's really gotten blown out of control. A few of you are getting too serious about things. It was supposed to be a jab about some of the recent flame wars, not a "real" flame. And for those of you dragging BDT the company into this. If you've got problems with BDT the company, let BDT people know about it, and be specific. When I flame Atari for real, I try to present more than something like "they suck". As for flaming me personally, go ahead make your best play; I'm always game for a round. -- David Beckemeyer | "To understand ranch lingo all yuh Beckemeyer Development Tools | have to do is to know in advance what 478 Santa Clara Ave, Oakland, CA 94610 | the other feller means an' then pay UUCP: ...!ihnp4!hoptoad!bdt!david | no attention to what he says"
