    But at least they are beginning to show some signs of changing.
Even though 99% of the recent articles from atari have been vigorously
defending the status quo, at least they are posting on (and presumably
reading?) Usenet.  That's good for the "unofficial" developer who can't
afford the premiums to get onto services like Bix or GEnie.  Add to that
some of their recent hirings (kbad, for example) and the atari node on
the STadel network and it begins to look like a little bit of light is
beginning to dawn in someone's* head in Atariland.

    It's a lot easier to put up with gemdog when I know that Atari may
actually be listening to complaints from -any- user of the machine.
