- Some of us remember that the author of the above comments was the same person
- advocating the Atari a few years ago. Yes, Atari's woes are Atari's fault
- (although IBMonitis plays a key role in this situation; just ask Amiga and
- Mac owners) and yes, the Tramiels are probably the worst thing that could
- have happened to Atari (at least the sons) and yes, I see very little
- future in the Atari as a platform. Too little, too late, too bad.
-
- If memory serves, you advertised the GEMulator over a year ago in
- some Atari mags and I am frankly surprised that your product is not out yet.
- Just a friendly reminder that some Amiga owners are getting ready to lynch
- Jim Drew of Utilities Unlimited for being 3 months late on an
- announced product's release date.
-
- How easy it is to point an accusing finger, n'est-ce-pas ? Take
- a good look at yourself before you judge another man, lest a third party
- judge you just as harshly and do release you product on time, just this
- once. You said "in a few days"; now, let's see... Why, that's in 21 days or
- less ! Let's see you keep your promise for once.

- P.S.: Some fellow well dwellers may discern a slightly antagonistic tone to
- this response. They are correct.
