I read a depressing article in the Oz weekly PC rag (PC week of all things
8) about "pad" style computers - everyone that they surveyed agreed that
they were the wave of the future, but _NOBODY_ was planning on buying any.
(we're talking major companies, consultancies, etc here)

Whether atari found the same thing, or the tramiels just love this keyboard
(ick 8) ... I dunno.
