Atari Canada ads in newspapers point out the ST's selection as 'Computer of
the Year'. I feel that Atari Corp should give awards to individuals or
companies that have done the most in any year to advance the use of STs.

Awards should be:

1. Best Commercial Product (hardware or software) $10,000
2. Best Public Domain Product  $10,000
3. Runners Up to 1. and 2. 20 * $1,000

This is small $$$ to Atari but a worthwhile incentive to developers.

For category 1., I nominate Dave Small (Spectre GCR) as first choice and
Dan Wilga (NeoDesk) as second choice. For category 2., my hands down favourite
is Simon Poole (Uniterm; hell, I wrote this on a CYBER using UNITERM). Atari
should run a balloting campaign through mags like STWorld, ST-Log, Antic,
Explorer, etc. and let the ST buying public decide. Wadda ya think NETters?
