- I visited Toad Computers on Saturday and asked about the Falcons. The
- lady working the store at the time (Jennifer?) told me thay have not
- received any Falcons to resell yet let alone any demonstration models
- from Atari. She went on to say that they set up a Falcon every
- Thursday (?) but that it's borrowed from some individual.
