- When will Atari ever get it right? It happend with the Mega, Mega STe and now the Falcon.
- Will they ever put the user first and deliver the goods on time? I first got my hands on
- a pre-production Falcon in July and was like every one else, impressed. Admitidly, the
- Falcon was a friend's, but I could not wait to buy my own. Release sometime early October,
- October arrives, no Falcon! Now I learn that Atari are planning to release a limited
- number of 4MB, HD-Falcons in the first week of December, but no 1MB, no HD-Falcon!!
- Come on Atari! How can you possibly miss the Christmas market?? The basic Falcon is the
- only one that most users can afford, and will be the best seller. I for one can't afford
- nearly 900 pounds! Commodore panicked when they heard about the Falcon, and have managed
- to produce the goods with the 1200, a good computer, but not a scratch on the Falcon.
- Basicly Atari and Commodore produce good computers, but Atari has crap organisation and
- their marketing stinks. I am one P****D Atari user.
-
- I know I am not alone, Atari should also know the extent of their madness.
