- Great. Now what we need is the addresses of software companies & what
- they produce for other platforms. Also, it might be a good idea to write
- to major hardware outlets like Computer City and Computerland and tell
- them we want to see Atari computers in their stores. I wonder if there's
- a way to set letter mailing up like a pyramid scheme so dealers get
- inundated with letters? They'd surely listen then! :)
-
- Does anyone have a list of addresses & products? Actually what we might
- want to do is go play around with Macs and clones & get an idea of what we
- want. Then post our findings on comp.sys.atari.st & anyone who's
- interested can write letters. In fact, if people post their letters here,
- others can use them & modify them if they don't have time to type a full
- letter...
-
- Any more ideas?
