- None of those adverts are from Atari, which is true to form for them. Lots
- of dealers are happily accepting advance orders for machines that are just
- plain not available.
-
- I amd hearing reports that Atari UK will only be shipping limited numbers of
- 4Mb/65MbHD machines before Christmas. 1Mb discless machines will not be
- available until January at the earliest. This is a typical Atari UK cockup.
- They will totally miss the Christmas season which Commodore are trying hard
- to get sales from with their new A1200(?). Will Atari ever learn? I think not.
