- Darek has a vested interest in seeing that as few people as possible continue to
- buy Atari equipment. He has produced a PC product, and he'd like to sell it
- to as many people as he can. Who is he going to sell this too? People that
- are switching over to the PC from Atari who whould still like to use some
- of their old ST software. If they go over to the Falcon instead of a PC, he
- loses business.
-
- Let the buyer beware. If you think Atari claims and service are bad, be prepared
- for worse with this guy. You don't have to conduct a survey to find plenty of
- people who have been burned by him. He's bailed on Atari. He's sold his Quick
- ST software rights to Codehead, and is a PC developer now.
