- Hey, hey...
-
- I'll be first to admit that the Falcon030 even with a Motorola 68030 CPU
- at 16 MHz is a good machine.
-
- If Atari could produce say, 500,000 next year and sell them all over
- the world, this would definitely work for the company.
-
- But in the back of my mind, I'm afraid that ATARI will only produce
- around 50,000 by November of next year.
-
- And in the back of my mind, I'm afraid that ATARI will not advertise
- anywhere about this system.
-
- The problem isn't quite with the Falcon030, it is a good computer.
- The problem is that the company producing them will need to REALLY
- get off their butts and produce and market it.
-
- That's what worries me.
-
- And there is no doubt in my mind that a 16 MHz home computer will
- be obsolete BY mid'94.
-
- Can Atari really do anything with the system in less than a year?
- I don't know.
