-
- Basically, and essentially, Atari Corporation, under the
- management of the Tramiel family took a promising, leading-edge,
- fresh approach, user friendly, and very hopeful computer system,
- and for all intents and purposes, ruined it.
-
- In the process, they also affected the lives and livelihoods of
- a lot of people who tried very hard to support the Atari computer
- line, a lot of whom were, and are, my friends.
-
- Perhaps one of the worst things they've done, again and again,
- is to raise false hopes among those who still support them and
- their computers.
-
- I've been involved with Atari computers since the Warner days,
- and I've supported Atari computer users all that time. I'll be
- among the last group out the door when they turn out the lights
- whenever that might be, too.
-
- I like my 520ST best of all the computers I've owned over the
- years and use it daily. It makes me awfully sad to think of
- what it might have become, if only its parents had cared about
- it.
