- On Monday August 31st, Bell Canada advised me that
- Atari Canada disconnected its phone lines. I called
- Atari USA in Calif and was told it still did not know
- when it would ship product to Canada.
-
- I was told that someone would call me but so far
- no one has contacted me from Atari USA.
-
- As a dealer I am really ticked off; after years of
- flogging Atari products the damn company just pulls
- the plug on the local operation and leaves me
- wondering what will happen next.
-
- Right now, I am not so concerned about the FALCON
- as I am with the actual survival of Atari as a
- company. I certainly would not pre-pay for any
- stock since I believe my company is less of a
- credit risk than Atari!!!
-
- I hope someone from Atari makes a statement on
- all this pretty soon to clarify what Atari USA
- intends to do to help its Canadian dealers.
