- I think stock quotes are a valuable tool for seeing how investors view
- Atari. Yes, those are the people who do not have an Atari oracle on
- their desk and who look at the profitability of the company and the
- competance of the management. I wonder how long it will be before
- NASDAQ unlists Atari all together (it is practically a penny stock) and
- ATC is relegated to the likes of the Vancouver exchange...Imagine that....

- I cannot help but be flattered. If I convince one newby to dismiss
- Atari computers as an electronic toy, I feel morally justified. I
- hate to see people go out and purchase one of these paperweights based
- on completely biased and false propaganda from the cheerleaders on
- the net and then realize that they'll have to give up their left nut
- to find software for it.
