Atari's problem with the Lynx stemfrom Epyx going bottom up....

it kind of left Atari high and dry so only the part of Epyx that does
the acutal manufacturing is still around.  Still this delay it what
caused the Lynx to miss christmas nationwide.

  As for availability, at home I get stations out on NYC on cable and
have seen numerous adverts for the Lynx.  It IS there!  Almost all of
the larger toy stores in NYC have them.  70,000 units were shipped to LA
and NYC and Atari expects to ship in excess of 1,000,000 units in 1990.
