We must remember, no matter how idealistic we think it may be, Atari
is first and foremost a business.  Therefore, in order to improve its 
current product line, they have to protect themselves.  That is why
they dropped Federated.  Some Federated stores were pushing the Amiga
more than the Atari line when Atari still owned Federated, so to Atari
I say, Good Move.
