-
- The REASON that other countries were NOT included in this operation was
- not because you aren't significant. In fact, you are probably more
- significant than the United States where Atari is concerned.
-
- The problem is that the organizers of this operation have no clue as to
- the current market conditions in your country.
-
- The organizers would be stupid if they started campaigns to get Atari computers
- sold in shoe stores in your country because they didn't know that they
- were shoe stores to begin with.
-
- The only way that an operation like "A.C.T. NOW" will be successful in
- your country is if it is run by someone that knows what is going on
- concerning Atari in your country--YOURSELF!
-
- I would advise ANYONE interested in starting up an "Operation: A.C.T. NOW"
- in your country to write the organizers in the U.S.

-
-
- Well, Atari KNOWS about it. The problem is that they probably will not
- get involved.
-
- What do you think would happen if Atari actually worked with the Atari
- Community?
-
- What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are trying to get
- Atari Computers into MicroCenters and if you guys write them, maybe we can
- get them in there."
-
- What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are trying to get
- Word Perfect to write a new version for the Falcon030, if you guys write them,
- maybe we can by typing on the latest of Word Perfect."
-
- What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are planning a major
- promotion of the Falcon030 computer in MARCH of 1993 and if everyone
- tells their friends about it, maybe we can make it successful."
-
- Do you know what would happen? We would probably help out and make the
- Falcon030 a success.
-
- The problem is that I think the company would rather go bankrupt then to ask
- the Atari Community to help give one big PUSH.
