The REASON that other countries were NOT included in this operation was
not because you aren't significant.  In fact, you are probably more
significant than the United States where Atari is concerned.

The problem is that the organizers of this operation have no clue as to
the current market conditions in your country.

The organizers would be stupid if they started campaigns to get Atari computers
sold in shoe stores in your country because they didn't know that they
were shoe stores to begin with.

The only way that an operation like "A.C.T. NOW" will be successful in
your country is if it is run by someone that knows what is going on
concerning Atari in your country--YOURSELF!

I would advise ANYONE interested in starting up an "Operation: A.C.T. NOW"
in your country to write the organizers in the U.S.

Well, Atari KNOWS about it.  The problem is that they probably will not
get involved.

What do you think would happen if Atari actually worked with the Atari
Community?

What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are trying to get
Atari Computers into MicroCenters and if you guys write them, maybe we can
get them in there."

What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are trying to get
Word Perfect to write a new version for the Falcon030, if you guys write them,
maybe we can by typing on the latest of Word Perfect."

What do you think would happen if Atari said, "Hey, we are planning a major
promotion of the Falcon030 computer in MARCH of 1993 and if everyone
tells their friends about it, maybe we can make it successful."

Do you know what would happen?  We would probably help out and make the
Falcon030 a success.

The problem is that I think the company would rather go bankrupt then to ask
the Atari Community to help give one big PUSH.
