- In the U.K. the latest news is that suppliers are hoping for an initial batch
- in late January,but are expecting it to come at the end of February.Some places
- are even saying March at the earliest.
- Not bad for a machine which was supposed to be first to Britain in October.
-
- I personally think that Atari,once more, have missed the boat with the Falcon
- just because of the delay in shipping,poor case and general hassles.
-
- But I will still be buying mine when they are shipped.
