- Hi everyone. I've been an ATARI supporter for a while now, since the 8-bit
- series. I have been reading the messages here for a while now, and have gotten
- alot of information from everyone. I think its great that this many ATARI
- users can get together and discuss these things.
-
- Well I just wanted to say that instead of writing all these messages that seem
- to say "ATARI SUCKS", or anything close, we should be talking about the
- positive things that we have as ATARI users. I own an ATARI 1040 STE, and am
- pretty happy with it. Unfortuantely I haven't been able to upgrade it to the
- point I want, but I'm still quite happy with it. I plan to buy a Falcon 030
- because of the new technology and possiblities it creates. I also plan to
- become an Atari developer. What I am trying to say is, that instead of bashing
- ATARI Corp for their mistakes( and I won't say they haven't made any ), we
- should support them as best we can. Those of us who have stuck with ATARI have
- done so for a very simple reason. We like ATARI computers better than any
- others, and they do what WE want them to do. Of course, technology changes
- every day and we all must move on, so its up to us to support our computer
- company and make sure they move along as well. I think the Falcon 030 will be
- a good computer, and I think we should support ATARI by buying their computers
- when they come out, and even trying to communicate to them what we would want
- from them. I think communication is the best way to save ourselves. And for
- those of you who have become frustrated with ATARI, and have moved on to other
- platforms should just stop posting in this group and post in the group of your
- own computer. I think we need to get rid of all of this negativity towards our
- computers and our computer company. I read a message by someone who said that
- ATARI Corp has an advantage over the other platforms, which is its users
- loyalty. I think we need to keep this loyalty intact, and even increase it if
- we are to have what we want. Of course we all want something more from our
- computers, and I'm sure that this newsgroup will help you to find whatever you
- need in terms of information about what you can do to improve your system. So
- the bottom line is: GO ATARI!
-
- Thanks,
