- You are right there, Darek is not level headed when it comes to Atari.
-
- He HATES Atari. I once spoke with him at an Atari show and the only
- reason he was there was to convert Atari users to clones.
-
- He still believes that Atari will go bankrupt, but I think according
- to Darek, they should have been gone by now.
-
- One cannot be level headed when you let your feelings get mixed in.
-
- I don't believe Atari should piss of anyone, but obviously, they pissed
- off two developers enough to join the clone world.
-
- A mistake.

-
- Could it be that Darek had HIGH hopes for Atari Corporation.
-
- He may have REALLY believed that the company could become great.
- He probably had higher hopes for Atari's products.
-
- And to hate a company as much as he does, he must have loved something
- about Atari to begin with.
