There are many Atari employees who read Usenet. There are some who
post to Usenet (I'm one of them). Those of us who do generally try
to avoid getting involved in threads that are "no win" propositions,
or about which we don't know the details. I understand that David is
upset at Atari; I wasn't around when he was here, and so I can't
comment on what happened during his visit. But I can assure him (and
anyone else reading) that Atari employees do care about the people
who own our computers. Indeed, most Atari employees I know own
an Atari computer.

I am not an Atari spokesperson, nor do I have anything to do with
marketing or manufacturing (so don't bother flaming me about our
problems in those areas... which the appropriate people do know about,
and are taking steps to ameliorate).
