I think I can safely say that we are venturing into 'Atari Time' which bares
no relation to ordinary time.  This happens with most computer manufacturers
who try *HARD* to produce quality products.  They announce a product release
in two months which actualy means two ATARI-months.  This can be from
4 to 6 real months.

When I heard that atari were releasing the Falcon this Autumn I put my
money into a 6 month investment scheme because I knew I wouldn't be able
to get one until Spring 1993!  I suggest everyone else puts their pennies
into similar schemes (perhaps 90 days or so!)  You money will work better
for you that way.

Oh.. When is the 386SX expansion card going to be available.  Unless
Monkey Island II comes out for the Falcon I may need one of these :-).
