Much I agree...plus the tone of their 'publication' has seemed very anti-Atari, despite the constant pleading for people to quit abusing Atari. Expressing opinions on the net is OK, even to couch it in the form of a newsletter is OK, but the ads and some of the articles which are little more than ads, don't seem appropriate on USENET. It might be easier for someone to just summarize the ApeInc info to the Net. Everything I have read so far could be summarized in one screen of text... -Todd Burkey trb@stag.UUCP
