Hi Bob. Still mad at a certain spokesperson for Atari, even after all these
years, eh?  Let's hope he doesn't leave GEnie and move on to Compuserve, or 
then you'd REALLY get mad.

Personally, if *I* arranged a meeting with people at Atari, and *I* spent my
own funds to get there to demonstrate a software package, *I* would want to
call the shots as to who *I* wanted to talk with ... and if Atari decided that
the appropriate people to speak with were, to me, inappropriate, I would have
told them so.

Of course, all *I* was wondering in my posting was what the hell LYNX
programmers were doing in a meeting discussing a set of Atari ST/Falcon
programming libraries.  [How Atari can feel that people who sit at Amigas all
day programming for hand-held game machines are capable of programming games
for the Falcon is beyond me...]
