- Well, in one sense, that is as good an answer as any. The $3,000 you estimated
- it cost you is not small money for a software development firm. Unless you
- were VERY clear on who you were going to speak with and what you could expect
- to happen as a result of the meeting, there was little justification for
- spending that much to meet Atari's wishes.
-
- By the by, you failed to mention in your first posting that Atari asked YOU to
- come out .. just what was the objective of this 'meeting'? Atari hasn't
- promoted any third-party software in four years or so. They haven't published
- anything under the Atari label since about that time either. All of the
- software which they've been rumored as having purchased has never left
- Sunnyvale again. Given this basic understanding of Atari Corporation, why did
- you decide to go in the first place?
