Ignac does have a point.  If the entire world knew about the 40 folder
bug from day one (ok, maybe day two), why didn't you techno-programmo-
studs fix the thing in your subsequent 2 releases of TOS?

If a few German hackers can come up with a kickass TOS substitute working
in their spare time (GEMINI) while they study for exams, drink beer, and
hang out with their girlfriends, why can't Atari's PAID programmers get
these KNOWN bugs out after 4 years?  This is hilarious.

That is why my ST is sitting on my desk gathering dust and only getting
occasional use as a DUMB terminal, rather than doing meaningful work
for me.

GRRRRR!
