- Let's see if you get the thought this way..
- People who *only* own a computer in a

- Yes, I own PC compatible computers, but I also own an Atari ST,
- which is part of a dying, sickly market, and it appears I'm

- somehow going to make everything in the Atari market suddenly
- turn around and become respectable again.

- It's akin to someone saying "I own a Yugo, and while they're
- not made any more, and there are no dealers left to buy them or
- parts and service for them, Pintos burst into flame, and Corvairs
- flip over, so everything but Yugos sucks.."
