Gordon Farrell asks:

>What did Atari ever do to you to get you so rabid?

Basically, and essentially, Atari Corporation, under the
management of the Tramiel family took a promising, leading-edge,
fresh approach, user friendly, and very hopeful computer system,
and for all intents and purposes, ruined it.
 
In the process, they also affected the lives and livelihoods of
a lot of people who tried very hard to support the Atari computer
line, a lot of whom were, and are, my friends.

Perhaps one of the worst things they've done, again and again,
is to raise false hopes among those who still support them and
their computers.

I've been involved with Atari computers since the Warner days,
and I've supported Atari computer users all that time.  I'll be
among the last group out the door when they turn out the lights
whenever that might be, too.
 
I like my 520ST best of all the computers I've owned over the
years and use it daily.  It makes me awfully sad to think of
what it might have become, if only its parents had cared about
it.
