- YES, I agree. Even though ATARI CORPORATION seems to have trouble
- marketing the Lynx, the Lynx is indeed a VERY good portable system.
-
- In fact, ANYONE that would drop the Lynx due to lack of dealerships
- in their area is just plain foolish.
-
- Open up an ATARI magazine and you'll see many mail-order places that
- sell Lynx games at even less than your average dealership.

- I also consult Robert's REVIEWS often. I don't think you will see
- other system owners SO ACTIVE.
-
- I mean, this activity makes up for most of Atari's problems.
-
- There is still PLENTY of Lynx support.
