- Is this guy for real? Does he think everyone in the world already owns
- a computer and so it is a competition between the various computer camps?

- Get real.

- Companies survive by creating NEW customers - not by dragging customers from
- other vendors.

- I don't see why a new-computer buyer would avoid the Falcon - or any Atari
- products. Certainly a PC is useless to the new user - way to difficult to
- operate (it's okay for us to say "Oh, just press return", but take a look
- at the average new-user - I have, and they HATE IBM PC's). Apple computers
- are great for new users - but $$$'s are always on the new-buyers mind, since
- that is about the only thing they are familiar with that they can compare
- (Computer A is cheaper than computer C, so buy A).
-
- "Power without the Price" is good.
