- Please step back and look at the CURRENT situation. IBM is announcing
- due dates and missing them by years. Microsoft is not doing much better.
-
- Atari did NOT publicize TOS 2.06 until it was ready. They have resisted
- issuing a due date for the Falcon, or even releasing specs, until they
- have firm facts. They have followed this policy for the last few years.
-
- I respect them for making a stand.
