Hmm. That "only" means they have to outsell companies such as IBM, Apple,
Digital Equipment...and not in terms of "# of machines sold" but in amount
of profit made!  How much chance of that happening?

Hell may freeze over first...
(This is not meant as a put-down of Atari, but simply a comparison of
SIZE.  After all, companies like IBM and DEC make BILLIONS in profits on
their computers...Atari's profits are not likely to approach any such numbers
in the near future.)
