- Dave, why don't you just leave it alone?
-
- About 80% of the people here realize the problems with Atari, etc.
-
- I don't own my Atari because of the Tramiels. I don't own it because
- of Atari's management.
-
- I really own it because of people within the Atari Community.
- They just can't be beat.
-
- I have a lot of good friends that own Atari computers and I find them
- to be very spirited and enthusiastic. I can't say the same for
- those that seem to think completely with logic saying,
-
- "If Atari's management is getting themselves together, sell your
- computer and go with the flow--IBM compatibles."
-
- I also tend to like Atari developers. They too seem to be very
- special people.
-
- I also own my Atari because the machine isn't really a bad machine.
-
- If Atari had very GOOD management with a poor Atari Community, I'd sell,
- of course it would be nice for both...
