Nonsense. This "rumor" got started when a wiseacre sent up a "press release"
to CompuServe. Among the other stupid things in the report were

* Atari moves corporate headquarters to Germany
* Sig Hartman is a German
* Atari releases new "FU" supercomputer

  Now, why didn't anyone notice that the "release" had a date of 4/1/1989 on
it? Sigh.
