It is so awful how a business makes a decision to get rid of a situation that is losing money! I mean really, any good business would keep around a major sinking ship just because it has such a big heart. Let's condemn Atari. Let's condemn Warner Communcations for doing the same thing to Atari years back. Let's condemn free enterprise entirely and let mediocrity take over. Good move, Atari. I was surprised when the decision was made to purchase it. -- Eric Griswold (ericg@sco.COM) "That's no baby.
