- You are speaking for OVER 50000 people who went to Atari show last
- week? You are speaking for Nobel Prize winners and many music people?
- You are speaking for many students mailing me and wanting to use

- great price even for DSP board?
-
- People are FREE to choose any computer to use for ANY purpose
- and if Falcon is only computer fitting someone with $799 to
- spend then they will let money speak for them.
