 Yes well lets see YOU do it here in New Zealand.  Now remember they are
 doing VERY well with their products (read Lynx) even if it is not the
 ST/STE/TT/Falcon range of products. So therefore I say they are doing a
 very good marketing job.
 
 Infact in this years 0800 Santa Phone, the ATARI LYNX was the most
 requested item for all ages.

 Well said, and Atari is still here and still going.
