Amalaye Oyake asks:
>1) WILL MR. BAGGET STILL MARKET GAME WORK BENCH OR HAS HE GIVEN UP ?
 
Dunno.. have to ask Dave.
 
>2) IF YOU REPLY, PLEASE STATE IN YOUR HONEST OPINION IF YOU THINK ( note i a
>talking to anybody reading this )  THE FALCON WILL SUCCEED.

"Succeed...?"  Not likely, given current Atari viewpioints on marketing and
developer involvement.

>4) WHAT DOES ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED, (CONCERNING MR. BAGGETS VISIT TO SV CA.)
>MEAN TO THE AVERAGE ST USER ?


It means that this is just one more (talk to some Atari developers for some
real "Horror Stories" about dealing with Atari Corporation.) example of
the arrogance of the current regime at Atari.  It means that YOU will
NEVER be able to buy a game developed with the Game Workshop.

>6) HOW WERE MR. BAGGETS GAME ROUTINES SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING DONE BY PEOPLE
>LIKE THE BITMAP BROTHERS ( ST DIEHARDS ), OR EVEN JEFF MINTER ?

They might not have actually been "superior".. but YOU will never know
whether they were or not, because Atari played games, rather than seriously
evaluating them.  Jeff Minter has already ported "Llamatron" to the PC
platform, where it's been received with tremendous acclaim. Why would he
continue to hit himself over the head with the "Atari" hammer..?

>7) SO WHAT MACHINES WOULD ONE RECOMEND BESIDES A FALCON ?

As always, it depends on what you want to do with your computer.  If you're
happy with developing your own applications and programs, then maybe the
Falcon's for you.  If you like VGA resolution games in 256 colors, at
Shareware prices, then that software is ALREADY available on the PC
platform... 

>ALL THE ABOVE ARE JUST QUESTIONS, SO I WOULD PREFER IT IF YOU DO NOT JUMP 
>ON MY CASE. .

amalaye oyake ---> a curious st user. 

No problem.. it's refreshing to encounter an open mind..
