CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!

Howard, you echo my sentiments exactly!  I posted a somewhat scathing
rebuttal to Spectrum Holobyte's open letter that they are now passing
around labelling the ST as a 'pirate' machine - you can read it in the
latest ST- Report (nr. 81)  I went off on this in the post, but I sick of S-H's
attitudes and ridiculous comments.  This compnay releases a game for the ST,
DOESN"T ADVERTISE IT, and then procliams that piracy is costing it sales
after the game had been on the market a mere SIX WEEKS!  The ads for the
game only started appearing last month and yet S-H had already started
labelling the ST a 'pirate machine'.  And now they have the gaul to spread
their 'open' letter to non-ST specific magazines like Computer Gaming
World!  And while all this is going on FALCON is selling like hotcakes
and is the NUMBER ONE selling program even in Europe!  This company
deserves a swift kick...
