Bob, what you say about Atari the company is true.  The Tramiels are bunch
of idiotic geeks, Atari would be a number one company if it didn't have
the management problems it is experiencing (as would Commodore), Dave
Bagget was utterly screwed by Atari and I cannot believe the *morons* who
think what happened to him was his fault, and finally, I don't think that
the Falcon will be a very successful computer nor will any of the new
Amigas.

However, there comes a point when you just walk away and forget about
fights you *CANNOT* win.  You will not be able to change atari, they're
very happy with the way they are and will remain that way for many years.
They are *not* going out of business any time soon (nor is commodore)
because of their European market.  When you post here, you are either
preaching to the choir in my case when you slam atari or you are yelling
at the equivalent of atari drug addicts who cannot believe atari can do
wrong.  Give it up, buy yourself a PC or a mac and be *HAPPY*...  Atari
is not worth a heart attack...

I myself don't give a flying you-know-what about software availability for
the ST.  Spectre will be converted to it so it will have the mac software
library for many years to come.  And I utterly refuse to buy a PC until they
pack them standard with a real memory mapped graphics board or SGI like
graphics co-processor, and a real soundboard.  It's been 10 years since
those things were developed and all they have managed to do is up the
processor speed and memory capacity and the graphics rez.  BFD...
They still suck and will probably remain that way for some time...  Middle
class america might be happy with such schlock but I wouldn't be...

This means that despite my *MANY* misgivings with Atari and Commodore my
next computer will be an Amiga or a Falcon unless someone comes out with
something else.  A 32 MHz board in the Falcon would make me a very happy
man...  After watching a slew of European demos last night, I realized
why I will never buy a PC.  You will never see the graphics in those
things on the PC in anytime soon...  I'm sure there are equally if not
more impressive pieces of work on the Amiga.  Finally, Bill Gates is a
weenie, remains a weenie, and most likely always will be a weenie (a rich
weenie though).  he doesn't need my money...
