- Very well said! While the Atari officials may be clowns, as Mark
- K. sees it, the Apple guys are much worse. They don't even care
- that their lawsuiting almost anyone who does something like a GUI
- actually harms the whole computer community by preventing people
- from developing sensible stuff. Everything seems to be all right
- with them as long as it is likely to make them money. And just by
- the way, Microsoft doesn't seem any better to me. What about
- their "undocumented" OS calls? They warned everyone not to use
- them, and then it turns out that the Microsoft programmers use
- them all the time, because they are the only ones that get the
- proper information about the calls and their future support.
- So, Atari may be run by fools, but at least they don't seem to
- play as unfair as some other companies.
