- I would be more heartened by this if the same thing hadn't happened at
- WAACE. Atari, for some strange reason, had some Falcons which were
- distributed to some developers and taken elsewhere by Reebok sent and
- stored at Toad for the week before WAACE. Toad had the Falcon030 boxes
- in plain sight all through WACCE but they weren't TOAD's and they weren't
- for sale. In fact I heard the Toad guy uh...the best term is "whining" to
- Bill Reebok that they ought to be able to keep one of them. Since some of
- them were marked samples, this might just be the same sort of thing.
-
- Did you ask if they were for sale?
