- I just read the transcript from FRIDAY's RTC on GEnie (With Bob Brodie).
-
- He said the sub-contractor has not been meeting the Q/A or production
- requirements.
-
- "The number of the machines coming from this factory that have fail
- diagnostic tests is completely unacceptable to Sam. He is _angry_ about
- this, as producing Atari Falcon030s is a paramount importance to us."
-
- He said there was going to be a meeting this monday with the factory do
- discuss the problems.
-
- He is meeting with other sub-contractors so the can produce the
- FALCON030's in parallel with the "failing" factory.
-
- Because of this, don't expect significant shipments until MARCH when
- the planned mass advertising campaign is suppost to be launched.
