- <f1><c000> ANOTHER MEANING
- OF COMMERCE
- <f0> a short look at the profile of Sikor Soft
- written by Grey / Mystic Bytes
- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- - --- ----
-
- The latest activities of "Sikor Soft" have surpassed all expectations of the
- faithful atarians living in the polish wastelands. After a very surprising
- announcement for new commercial games forthcoming for the Atari XL/XE series,
- Sikor has decided to become a publisher of a new atari paper magazine called
- "Atarynka"! Such a brave steps brings with it huge risk especially if you bear
- in mind how small the current Atari market is and the small amount of potential
- customers for each issue.
-
- Could the word "commerce" be welcomed by anyone who has to dig out money from
- their own pocket? Is it possible? Living in the commercial world is very risky
- finacially and also boring .... But "Sikor Soft" is an exceptional phenomenon -
- they showed us another meaning of this hateful word. And what's this other
- meaning...? Not making a profit without giving something back. Sikor NEVER lets
- us feel he's just looking to earn money on the Atari. His major target is to
- support the place of his youth... Sometimes he is forced to cover his costs
- "for the business". He arranges everything concerned with the colour labels,
- disks and packaging and he was still selling even if each game didn't cover
- these costs...... "A loser?", "A die-hard Atarian?".... People with different a
- mentality probably will choose one of these answers.
-
- "Sikor Soft"'s activity is beyond the understanding of many people. Such a
- hateful word like "commerce" can change (!) its meaninng, even more - it can
- become welcome! Even if you think it all sounds like a fairy tale it's
- *REALITY*. I have known Sikor long enough to have this opinion and I am pretty
- sure that the Polish atari community agrees with me.
-
- If he one day dissapears from the atari scene, he will surely go down in
- history as one of the good guys!
-
- Thanx for Your job, Sikor!
