View, CA Lines: 21 I was riding home from work last night on the subway in San Francisco. My commute home is pretty long, and so I play video games on my Lynx to pass the time. On the subway, a couple across the aisle from me noticed that I was playing with some sort of game they'd never seen before. When they leaned over to look at it, I offered to show it to them. The male member of the couple asked me how much the Lynx cost versus the GameBoy, and remarked about the color and better graphics. The woman said to me, "Does Atari make that? I thought they went out of businesss!" To which I replied, "No, they're still around." Sounds like Atari could stand to do a bit of advertising for itself, let alone its products. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi / Silicon Graphics, Inc. / portuesi@sgi.com
