- Don't forget to also mention that as far as the Falcon is concerned
- it has not been seen by any U.S. Atari users that I know of. It wasn't
- present at the Toronto show, not at the Indianapolis show, and it sure
- as heck wasn't present at this weekend's Connecticut show. Bob Brodie did
- show up, but all he brought was Lynx machine. OH BOY!!!!! And Bob Brodie,
- shame on you for not even having the courtesy to show up at the banquet on
- Saturday night. I guess you were far too busy to mingle with users and
- developers who each shelled out $26 for "dinner", which to me looked like
- cold cuts and bread.
-
- Jeff, tell you what, when YOU personally manage to buy a Falcon, please, oh
- please, do tell us how much you paid for it, and do post benchmark results.
- I'm sure the Falcon will run circles around a 486 running Gemulator. No
- dispute there. But until you can buy a Falcon you shouldn't really compare
- an invisible vaporware machine that almost no one has ever seen vs. an
- Atari emulator that has now been seen by about 4000 Atari ST users and
- which goes on sale in under 4 weeks.
