- Surprise, Marinos..!!
-
- I own 2 1/2 PCs already, and I still use my 520 ST more than all of them
- put together! (Guess you don't read so good, eh..? There are remedial
- classes available to help with that...)
-
- My point is that if Atari Corp would finally do something (after YEARS of
- doing virtually NOTHING), we'd all have plenty to talk about without
- having to resort to flame wars just to have something to fill the void.
-
- Read a few PC or Mac newsgroups to see how HAPPY computer owners discuss
- everything from games to desktop publishing, to programming, to graphics,
- and all with very little reference to "Real Soon Now", or "Someday when
- XXXX is released"...
-
- Wouldn't it be great if the Atari newsgroups had more games to talk about
- than you could take time to read..? Enough that we'd have to create a
- new newsgroup just to handle them..? Or if there were enough people
- programming the Atari on a professional or semi-professional level that
- we needed several new newsgroups just to handle the traffic..?
-
- Like I said.. we don't need a new newsgroup to handle all the Atari flames..
- what we need is for Atari Corp to DO SOMETHING...
