Hey, hey...

I'll be first to admit that the Falcon030 even with a Motorola 68030 CPU
at 16 MHz is a good machine.

If Atari could produce say, 500,000 next year and sell them all over
the world, this would definitely work for the company.

But in the back of my mind, I'm afraid that ATARI will only produce
around 50,000 by November of next year.

And in the back of my mind, I'm afraid that ATARI will not advertise
anywhere about this system.

The problem isn't quite with the Falcon030, it is a good computer.
The problem is that the company producing them will need to REALLY
get off their butts and produce and market it.

That's what worries me.

And there is no doubt in my mind that a 16 MHz home computer will
be obsolete BY mid'94.

Can Atari really do anything with the system in less than a year?
I don't know.
