- The reason I get tired of reading the messages from Bob and Dave is that
- they keep saying the same things over and over and over. I was a reader of
- Bob when he was on GEnie, and I was around when he left too. My problem
- with a lot of the folks' messages here is that they don't seem to be able
- to differentiate between the compter and the people who run the company.
- I have two Atari's, a Stacy 4/40 and a 12meg SSTed Mega. They both work
- just fine and do everything I want to do. I have about 250 disks of softwar
- and its cheaper and does more, easier, in my opinion than the stuff I have
- had to use at work on the IBM and the Mac. I don't have to love the
- management of Atari to enjoy using the computers their company built.
- I used to enjoy the technical information I got here on the net, but now
- it seems most of the bandwidth is being wasted on company bashing and
- nowbody is talking about the the machines. Frankly I don't care if Atari
- is full of (censored) people as long as I can keep my machines working.
- If they die and atari is gone, I'll buy a machine which works as close
- to the way my Ataris did as possible. i.e. a built in GUI, OS in ROM,
- good monochrome display, reasonable speed, price, and _simple_ to set up.
- Don't anyone try to tell me its a simple thing to set up an configure a
- clone from scratch. I've had to help too many people who weren't beginners
- do it. If the machine doesn't come with windows installed already it can
- be a nightmare for a beginner.
