- What the heck is everyone beating on Dave for? If I had Dave's
- experience at Atari HQ, I would have been foaming at the mouth and
- probably a stark raving lunatic. But Dave posts are a calm and rational
- description of his experiences and everbody accuses him of making things
- up. READ THE F***ING POST. All Dave said was: "I went to Atari and
- this is what happened."
-
- If anything, I tend to be an Atari "cheerleader" and get really annoyed
- at the habitual whiners & complainers in this newsgroup (and you know
- who you are). And I don't always agree with Dave either. But the guy
- gives us a peek at the *inside* of Atari and everyone jumps him like
- he just shot your dog and f***** your wife/girlfriend.
-
- Despite all the complaints, I think that Falcon is a fine machine. But
- I know (from inside experience) how a company can royally f*** things
- up if they don't have a clue. I may or may not buy a Falcon, but I sure
- do appreciate Dave's post.
-
- Come on, guys. Being an Atari cheerleader is one thing. Being a
- *mindless* cheerleader is something else. Chill out, already.
