(I feel guiltless, since I've more or less refrained from Atari bashing the last two years :-)) I don't think you can blame the public for being extremly sceptical about announcements from a computer company and from Atari in particular. Don't forget that the Tramiels were saying that Atari was working on the TT three years ago (the same thing Atari is saying now). Also note, that even with Atari HQ's new (and better) policy on product announcements, for the average European customer the situation has not changed. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: ...mcvax!cernvax!forty2!poole Simon Poole BITNET: K538915@CZHRZU1A ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
