- Hmmm... let's see..
-
- The most believable reports are that there are about 50 "Atari dealers"
- left in the United States...
-
- So if the "official allocation" is 2 Falcons per dealer, that means
- that the Atari production pipeline (whatever THAT means these days)
- is 100 units TOTAL..
-
- So.. how hard is it to build 100 computers..?
-
- Must be pretty hard, I guess...
