Atari is doing very well in Europe.  Almost 4 STs are sold for each Amiga.
Atari releases their sales figures every quarter; they are required to re-
lease them by the SEC, since they have an obligation to the people who own
shares in the company.  By the way, almost one-third of Amigas made in Eu-
rope are returned as defective.


On another totally unrelated note:

Is it possible to write a program that will backup the FAT and the directory
of a hard disk partition?  Programs that wipe out hard disks generally do so
by destroying the FAT and the directory.

A program that will backup the vital information on a disk is effective pro-
tection against viruses and other malicious code.  Is this project feasible?
Such a program will probably make backing up a hard disk much more painless!
